6 weeks until my next half marathon. Starting to feel good about my pace again. I took way too much time off after the last one and was dropped by my running buddies. Still using the Hal Higdon Novice plan. But due to the hill climb within the first 5 miles I have added some light sprinting just one session during the week.
No problems any more with calf soreness after making the changes in my stride and running posture.(see previous posts)
Update***
Finished the half in about 2:10. It was great cutting 10 minutes off of my last time. The course was much harder as well. It had one huge climb and many smaller hills. The last 3 miles of the course was flat but by that time I had not gas in the tank to take advantage of it. Shooting for under 2 hours next time. But with my wife in graduate school now it may be hard to find time to train for the next event.
Will be looking for some 10k runs to do instead.
