Just over 3 months until the Big Woods Half Marathon. To many people that means I have plenty of time to start, but I know better. My plan requires 3 months, so that means as of Monday, I'm a lean mean, half marathon training machine.
I'm doing the intermediate level of hal higdon's plan. His plans are a bit intense (6 days of training a week) but I'm determined to maximize the training this time and get my speed down. Goal for this next trail half marathon: sub-2hr30min. That means knocking over 6 minutes off my overall time. Less walking would accomplish that. It's a trail run so I think that's do-able. If I were doing a road race, I'd be setting a much more aggressive goal (probably sub 2h20min) but anyone who runs knows that a trail race is drastically different. I will even potentially be buying some trail running shoes for this event instead of my shiny new mizuno babies.....
Well enough talking, more doing... time to get out for my inagural 3 miles.
Live long, run hard.
