Here is the last four weeks of training for the half marathon. The long runs in this phase are plenty long enough for you to practice your race day strategy, including what shoes and clothing you will wear and your nutrition plan.
Your long run will peak at 11 miles, but don't fret too much if you only reach 10. Don't worry about the fact that these runs still leave you shy of the 13.1 you will run on race day. Your training and tapering, along with the excitement of race day will easily carry you those extra couple of miles to the finish line.
As your weekly mileage continues to grow and reach it's peak, rest and recovery become especially important. Listen to and respect what your body is telling you and relish your rest days.
The taper week, which is week 12, is critical component of the plan. I will be posting soon about the ups and downs of the taper.
Run for your lives,
Bree
