A thread for newbies and veterans!
I've just signed up for my first half. It's in March and I'm putting together my training plan. My longest run at the moment is about 5 miles.
I've seen a few plans and some of them differ by quite a bit, so I'm getting confused about the best approach. I'm cobbling something together but not sure on a couple of points. At the moment I'm planning 3 runs a week (one recovery, one intervals/hills/tempo and one long run), a couple of rest days and a couple of cross training days- does that sound OK so far?
With the long runs, don't I need to complete the full distance? Some of the training plans I've seen only go up to 10 miles. I don't want to overtrain but is 10 miles going to be enough?
I'm not planning to break any records, if I finish in under 3 hours that will be just fine with me
Thanks for any tips
