There is less than 2 weeks to go now before the Vancouver Half Marathon and I am pretty sure now that no matter what I think, it won’t happen the way I want. <\/p>\n
The longest run I have done in 2 months is 5.6k and I can manage a 5k without to much discomfort, but the thought of 20k straight just isn’t realistic. I’ll be suprised if I can do more than 5k. But I have a plan. <\/p>\n
This week I am going to try and keep running as much as I can to strengthen my leg. I don’t know if it will work but I can try right? Saturday morning I am going to try & do a long training run, a smaller version of what I want to do on the day itself. For the reminder of the week ahead, more runs and then as of next Thursday morning I will make my final run and then nothing till race day, not even gym, to save my legs. <\/p>\n
My plan for rave day and for the training run this weekend is pretty much just intervals. Going to start with a 5k run (which I know I can do) then break for a kilometer and then pick up again for another 5k. After that I hope that my legs can handle another 5k run (after a 1k walk break). After that I will just break it up into manageable pieces of whatever I can handle finishing up with a small run to the finish line. <\/p>\n
I really don’t know if the whole thing will work, or if It is going to be possible but sure as hell I’m going to try right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
