Hi everyone!
We are proposing to start a new Half Marathon group next week over on the Marathon and race support forum.
Some of you may already have places in autumn events and, like me, are wondering if they will go ahead or whether they will be cancelled. The camaraderie of training and completing your HM in a virtual group seems more relevant than ever in these challenging times of Covid-19!
Anyone can join the group - whether itβs your first half marathon or your 101st, whether you planned to run it solo or in a mass participation event, whether youβre already part way through a plan, not yet started or not even chosen a plan!
We will each follow our own plan, with our own target HM date but will share info, ideas and experiences with a good helping of the type of support that HU is famous for!
There will be advice available on choosing a plan if you need help sorting through the mass of available options.
We do recommend that people have run 10K before embarking on a half marathon plan.
Iβm due to start my own HM training plan next week - in theory for Oxford HM on 11th October, but it may well become my second virtual HM ...
From next week, roseabi and I plan to write weekly posts to help keep us all motivated, encouraged and informed! Your input to these posts and discussions will be invaluable as always.
Let us know in the comments below if you are interested in joining the group π
And keep an eye out for more posts over in the (misleadingly named!) Marathon & Race Support forum healthunlocked.com/marathon...
