Half marathon training

It’s not quite 100 days, but a 12-week half marathon training regimen is close enough. I’ve started the Hal Higdon Novice 2 half marathon training program to help give my fitness a boost. I’ve been running off and on during the COVID-19 lockdown period and have generally been enjoying it, but I’ve been running without a plan which in my previous experience can lead to injury or boredom.

Given the current state of world affairs, it seems a bit unlikely that there will actually be a half marathon to run on 9th August 2020, but if all goes to plan, I’ll be ready.

As a nice way to ease into the plan, Day 1 starts with a rest day. Easy enough. I did manage to get in a reasonably long walk in Richmond Park with the boys so I was active, just not running. Tomorrow – 3 miles or 4.8km.
