Alumni racing: Christine wins at Schroon Lake!


Marist Running alum Christine Coughlin (now racing for Albany Running Exchange) had a monster effort at the Adirondack Half Marathon in Schroon Lake, winning the women’s race on a hilly course in 1:25:58, a more than three-minute PR from her debut 13.1-mile effort at the Walkway race (1:29:05) back in June. The hills were no problem (she texted me that they were very BEARable … note her fancy ADK-styled winning award, thus the pun) for her, as she has trained on this terrain throughout the summer. Her posted splits were 34:27, 6:46 pace, for 5 miles; 1:18:26, 6:36 pace, for 11.9 miles, and 1:25:58, 6:34 pace, for the finish. This is remarkable, as most of the serious hills are on the second half of this race. Very proud of our most recent alum.
