1899 Gold Liberty Half Eagle

The Liberty Half Eagle holds the distinction of being the only coin of any type or denomination to be struck at all seven mints. The Gold Half Eagle had several design changes over the course of its 69-year existence; however, the Liberty Head Coronet Type With Motto -- as depicted in the 1899 issue -- remains one of the most recognized and treasured variations. Today, the $5 Gold Liberty Half Eagle is considered the "Holy Grail" of coin collecting for its rarity, value and historic significance.Limitation: N/AMaterial: .2419 troy oz. of .900 pure goldWeight: 8.36 gramsIssue year: 1899Diameter: 21 mmQuality: extremely fineCountry: USAFace value: 5 DollarsCustomer can only order up to 5 pcs.

Biggest Marathon, Half-Marathon Training Mistakes
Half marathons and marathons can be over in a matter of hours, but runners, both newbies and elite, often spend months training for the 13.1- and 26.2-mile races. Experts describe four common mistakes runners make when preparing for these major races.

Effective Training for a Half Marathon

Long distance running is both physically and mentally demanding. Because of this, it is important that you put in place effective long term training and nutrition program. If you train effectively, a half marathon can be a lot of fun. If you don't, it will not be a pleasant experience.

 

You may be an experienced runner or you may be starting up for the first time, either way you should follow a set process.

 

Because we now know a lot more about nutrition and effective methods of training, we must pay more attention to what we are doing when we train for a half marathon. Effective training and nutrition can result in a better finish and reduced risk of injury.

 

The key aspect to running a half marathon is to be motivated. To remain motivated for the duration of the training program, you need to dig deep and discover your main reasons for running the race. Maybe you want to raise money for a cause close to your heart or perhaps you want to push your body to its physical limits. The main thing is your reason for running the half marathon can help carry you through to the end. It is also important to set yourself goals to help you maintain focus and commitment. Consider setting a gradual training program and whenever you reach a key "milestone" give yourself a reward. Or set yourself goals of times to beat or an overall time to complete the race in.

 

You need to conduct some pre training. This is to prepare your body for when you start the training for the half marathon. It is ideal to be able to run around 20 minutes non stop before conducting the training itself.

 

A good pair of running shoes is important as is maintaining good hydration at all times.

 

Eat enough carbohydrates as they provide the glycogen that fuels your muscles and will give you the energy to complete the race. It is also important to rest and not overdo it or injury could occur.

 

If you can get up to around 11 miles prior to the 13.1 for the half marathon you will be ready. Spend the week prior to the run resting and fueling your body.

 

Once you set out on the start line you will be glad of the preparation and really enjoy the day!
