My First Half Marathon Was Not What I'd Expected: 1:0X:XX
Senior Editor Alex Cyr had one major running goal in 2024: racing in his first-ever half-marathon. After four months of relentless training, he toed the line of his hometown race, the TCS Toronto Half-Marathon, with ambitious hopes of mastering the distance in his first try. He shows us everything in his race weekend vlog: from the race expo to the shakeout run to a nervous purchase at the Adidas store to the race itself --- he calls it the good, the bad, and the ugly. Watch on to find out whether or not Alex conquered the most popular race distance in the world: the half-marathon.
