I hate running on the treadmill so I hope the weather cooperates.  I don’t mind the cold…it’s the snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain that I hate.

Though I am starting week 7, I really haven’t been looking at the plan…

Half Marathon Training Program _3

and when I do, I realize that I am running less than I should (except for my vacation week) but then again, I would rather run less than be injured and not run at all…

Week Totals:      Long Runs:

1 –  11                             5
2-   6                               3
3-  14                              6
4 –  14 75                       6
5 –  26.5                        8
6 –  17.25                       6.5

So for week 7, I added an extra day of running.   My next race is March 17…gulp!

Happy Running!  Do you strictly follow a running plan?

  1. 2 races in one weekend! And unusual distances…7k…you are right about the being careful not to get injured or worst…I did that and I was able to continue running BUT yesterday I found out the hard way that if I (that is for ME not saying for you :)) don’t put the mileage in….on the Long run I mean…well you’ll see my race recap..but I can tell you it is nothing good…I hope for you it will not affect your race too much…I would go up to 10 before the race though for sure. Have a good week!

  2. 2 races in a row in 2 days: a very good job to improve the speed.
    I understand your feeling with the treadmill; I hate that torture instruments. Better a run under the rain as you did.
    My running plans are in the past…..
