Any Runners out there?

Question

I am currently training for my first Half Marathon and I am seeking advice and tips! I was running 10ks before I got pregnant with my daughter and now I am 6 months pp. The race is 11 weeks away!

Answer

Steadily build up to longer lengths of runs there are tons of plans online, run on the actual half marathon course if possible, practice eating goo/gu if it’s going to be offered during the race while you run so you know how it’ll make your stomach feel, don’t forget to stretch, dress for the weather including a really nice pair of shoes and have fun!
I went into my first half marathon having no idea what I was getting into and having no running experience. I was lucky to find a group that was training on Saturdays to help me build a schedule for training and that would set up water/goo stations on Saturdays. Just keep at it. If you already ran 10ks you’re definitely going to be able to build yourself up to the half marathon. I don’t have any really practical advice. I don’t think there was much that truly helped me but I just kind of stumbled my way into running. My first half marathon I thought I couldn’t make it. Went from running in temperatures ranging from -40F to 40F the whole time during training to it being 80F so I totally was slower than I ever had been due to heat. So I was initially disappointed in my time but I think for the first one (especially in my lack of running experience) wasn’t wise. I shouldn’t have worried about time. It was a marvelous feat I even finished the race lol
