24 Mile Long Run in Houston, TX | Jersey City Marathon Prep Continues | How Fast Can I Get?

Описание: The build toward the Jersey Marathon continues, and this was one of the most important training runs of the block. On February 14, 2026, I headed out for a long effort through Fort Bend County, Texas as the miles continue stacking up during high-volume marathon training.

This run came out to 24.06 miles in 2:37:28, averaging 6:33 per mile with an average heart rate of 147 bpm. The goal for this session was controlled effort, strong aerobic work, and getting comfortable holding pace deep into a long run while fatigued — exactly the type of work that translates to marathon success.

One of the biggest focuses right now is dialing in my race-day setup and shoe rotation. For this run, I used two key shoes that are playing a major role in my training:

@brooksrunning Brooks Hyperion 3 – A lightweight and versatile trainer that feels smooth during steady efforts and long marathon sessions. Great for keeping turnover efficient while logging big miles.

@brooksrunning Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 – My race-day shoe as I prepare for the marathon. I’m working it into longer efforts to simulate late-race conditions and build confidence when running fast on tired legs.

Run Stats:
Distance: 24.06 miles
Time: 2:37:28
Average Pace: 6:33 / mile
Best Mile: 5:48
Average Heart Rate: 147 bpm
Elevation Gain: 154 ft
Training Load: 537 (High)

Training like this is all about consistency, patience, and respecting the process. Every long run is another step toward being ready when it matters most on race day.

If you’re also training for a marathon or chasing a big goal this year, follow along as I document the journey.
