Can you believe we are in week 5 already? Did you run a 5K
or do a 3 mile time trial last week? How did it feel?
Here are the next four weeks of the beginner half marathon
plan. It continues to follow the same structure as the previous four weeks with
four runs per week including a long run on the weekend. Your long run will reach 9 miles. If you are
new to running, this will probably feel like quite an accomplishment…and it
should!
Questions? Comments? Let's hear it!
Since all of the Run the Rock courses are hilly (except the 5K), it is a very good idea to incorporate some hills into your runs regardless of which race you are aiming for. Even better, would be run some of the course itself.

As your long runs getting longer, recovery and rest become more important. Savor and respect a full day of rest after your weekly long run. Also use your long runs to practice your nutritional plan for race day. I will cover some tips and techniques for recovery in post soon.
In the mean time...run for our lives!
