I am training for my first half marathon, and my training schedule is so different from yours. For example week 1 I only do a total of 20 miles (with different methods, total of 4 days running). Are you generally this active or are you following a specific training schedule? Any pointers you have would be greatly appreciated for both training and race day as I am such a newbie. Thanks!

Hi!

I haven’t actually started my training plan yet. Right now I’m just building endurance/doing whatever I really feel like doing. But it sounds like your week 1 is about right

Looks great to me. Are you planning on doing any speed work?

Speedwork is every other week in place of the tempo runs.

Ah, ok. Makes sense…just wasn’t sure about that.

Sure thing.

Eating to run and running to eat
