scrunched up and suggested i lower my arms in order to relax my shoulders which would allow my lungs to take in more air.
i tried to keep this bit of advice in mind for the rest of the race and would like to think it helped. i will certainly keep it in mind as i continue my marathon training.
in terms of my result, i am pleased i was able to beat my previous personal best in the half-marathon. who knows, if i was really focused on my half-marathon time and had not run last night or prior to the race i might have been able to knock a few minutes
