Question

Has anyone ran a race in this group? Like a 5k, half marathon, full marathon... any of these.... any tips? Did you only do it once and say “never again, I’ll just run on my own” how did you train?

Answer

Half marathon here. 
To build up, I ran twice a week - 3 miles for my short run, and 6 miles for my long run. Did that for a couple years before I started training for the half marathon. 
I started my half marathon prep 3 months out. I ran 2 short runs during the week (2-4 miles each), and one long run on the weekends. The long runs started at 6 miles and I gradually increased the distance each week until I got up to 10 miles. Did 10 miles 3 consecutive weekends then tapered the final week before the race.

Answer

My family just did an 8k and everyone was shocked how easy it felt to run the whole time. Def no half marathons for us but maybe a 10k! We are all pretty active but were running 3-5 miles at a time to train like a month before , which was when we signed up
