Thread: Train for a half marathon in 5 months?

its not even good shit i will get back into it tho.

half the distance does not mean half the training time! i want to run a half marathon here in town again in early may, and i probably should at least start doing something again to shake the rust off the old legs

When I run or train I kind of use it as a sort of meditation. It sounds a bit douchey but I mean it in a cathartic way. Focussing on really mundane, repetetive movements over and over, counting, only looking ahead to the next step or stroke. After an hour or more of that I'm calm, destressed, satisfied, euphoric.

im still running every day, hell yeah me!

I am sort of the same way, i think..... I never run on a treadmill. I never listen to music...
