Well done. Rest up, eat healthy, sleep good and do some cross training before hitting the road for your next run

Have fun. Take it steady 💪👍😀

Rest up and sleep good ain’t possible with my job and having a littlun!!! Easy 5k on Saturday before the next big run on Tuesday

Good work! You have plenty of time to build your legs up to the hm distance. My legs often feel tired/heavy at the end of a 10-12 mile run with my hm just weeks away.

Trying to build slowly, an extra 1-1.5k for a long run once a week with a break for a 10k race in a few weeks. To think this time last year I was out of breath running for the bus!

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

This is great!! What half marathon have you signed up for?

The Derby Half Marathon on 3rd June, ambitious but confident I’ll get there!

Looks like a lovely route! You're right, you will get there. Looking forward to hearing more about your training - and to reading your race report :)

Would you like me to add you to our Events calendar?

I wondered if it was Derby with your name :D You're doing fine, plenty of time to get the distance in.

I'll be there, cheering you and rolysmate on :) Look out for the green pompoms as you come over that finish line!

Been on the ic for a couple of weeks BUT here's hoping

Plenty of time yet, but I will keep my fingers crossed for you anyway. You're up to the distance now so a couple of weeks off won't make too much of a difference. I hope you can get back out there soon though.

was worrying about that

No, from my own experience long-term fitness doesn't fizzle out in a few weeks. As long as you can get back out there in about a month or so you won't notice any difference at all. Are you still on the IC or are you running again?

1st run today after 14 days, just going to take it steady and see how I go

Yes, take it steady, but I bet you won't have lost much fitness if any in 14 days. Good luck!
