Question about my 1/2 marathon training...

[Grog]

I'm not a half-marathoner veteran, but it does look good to me too.

I'm not sure you really NEED to run the 12-miler though. You could stop at the 11-mile mark and leave it at that. That will give you a little more time to taper and reduce your mileage. You don't want to get to race day exhausted!

Enjoy!

hmmmmm..... skipping the 12 miler doesn't sound like a bad idea. I could do the 11 in 2 weeks and then start my taper, or take an extra week to work up to 11.... or maybe just 10. I feel OK now, but considering that just 5 weeks ago I was only running about 5-8 miles a week, I am a little worried that I am increasing mileage too quickly and that it will catch up to me.

I'd think I'd take a bit more time to get to 11, making sure you insert an easier week in there somewhere (maybe next week, depending on how hard you've ran in the past few weeks...).

If you can run 11, you can run 2.1 more!

Good luck!

I've run a couple of half marathons using a training program where the longerst run was 10 miles - it seems to work OK for me
