Recently, I received a number of questions about training for a half marathon. My Running page has all sorts of information about long runs, fueling, motivation, gear, and recaps of the five half marathons that I’ve run to date. If you have additional questions, please let me know!
I’m currently training for the Run to Remember at the end of May, so I’m using the training plan below from Smart Coach. Smart Coach is great because you can personalize a training program to meet your own running goals. If you’re thinking about running a half marathon (or already have one on your calendar), it’s a fantastic tool!
I also plan to use this post to keep track of my workouts since a bunch of people said they missed my weekly schedule that I removed from my blog. Keeping track of my workouts here will also help keep me on track with my half marathon training, so it’s a win-win!
