I'm no good at following training plans, and when I signed up for my half on the 28th, I had 10 weeks. So, I worked out, very loosly, a schedule of sorts - basically inscreasing my long run a bit each week, with a few set back weeks to rest my legs. My goal was to get through the race.
So, I ran 11 today as my final long run. It went great by the way, and I felt so strong and enjoyed every minute of it - except when I had to turn around and alter my route because of 20 deer on either side of the trail staring at me!
I usually run Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday or Friday, with a longer run on Saturday or Sunday. It's pretty loose and flexible. I can't run 3 days in a row - my body can't handle it, and I don't like missing 3 days.
So, I'm thinking a few 3-5 mile runs during the week and maybe 6-8 next weekend (the weekend before the half). Any thoughts?
The other two halves that I trained for were part of full marathon training, so there was no real taper period.
Just looking for some advice
Re: half in 2 weeks, what should be my plan?
I'd do 10 next weekend.
