With 3-4 weeks to go until the half, I’m following a dedicated plan to get me through, which goes a little sumthin’ like this:

M - Stretch & rest

T - 8km run

W - 4-5 k run or cross

T - 8km run

F - Rest

S - Rest

S - 10 km race/16km run/18-19km run/ half marathon

This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this, so it will interesting to see if it works. My training has been pretty ad hoc up to this point. I ran a 13km race on the weekend (Sydney’s pub2pub) which went well, but when I finished it I was pretty tired - the thought of running 8 more km seemed pretty outrageous! 

I also need to do more stretching, drink more fluids and sports drinks - these are the aims for the next few weeks!
