RTTC #251 Proof of Time Half Marathon Training Weeks 17 and 18

from Running to the Castle

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali combines two weeks of Proof of Time Half Marathon training into one honest, "it just didn't happen" kind of episode. Week 17 got wiped out by travel... a trip to Massachusetts to visit family and meet her new niece, a flight delay, a Wi-Fi outage, and a pile of laundry that pushed her only workout, a long run, two days late. Week 18 started rocky too, but the week turned around fast: a speed workout testing new run-walk intervals that beat her 10K race pace goal even with a slower running split, and a long run using yet another interval combo to protect her legs before race day. The takeaway she wants every runner to hear... after a rough stretch, your pace doesn't crumble, but your legs might be sore, so treat that first week back like a recovery priority, not an afterthought. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
