Half Marathon Training: Week 12 & Overall Thoughts

It is done! I've done all the training and all that's left to do is run the race. This week was really easy, except for when my nerves finally started to kick in!

I took it easy and didn't push it at all for any of these runs since I was still having slight pain on the inside of my calves. For this post, I kind of wanted to sum up my thoughts about the whole training period and what I liked and didn't like.

I think that running four days a week worked for me, but it was hard to fit it in with my work schedule sometimes. I also think the 5 mile run mid-week later on in training and the long run on the week was a bit too much for me personally. I think that's what lead to me feeling so burnt out at the end of the schedule.

I think the program could stand some alterations, but I'm not sure what exactly I would change. I would definitely recommend it though, as I think it does a good job of preparing you for the distance.

I've been randomly getting overwhelmingly nervous when I remember that the race is on Sunday, but I guess that's probably normal. We'll see how it all shakes out I suppose! 

P.S. This.
