Yes, that's right. There is LOTS of time to get your body ready to complete a half marathon in July. Many training programs would not have even started yet. So, don't be discouraged if you haven't stuck to the schedule. Tomorrow is a new beginning! I missed my long run today since I had to finish report cards. (Don't tell my sister...she did 20 miles.) Now that our mileage is increasing, be sure to incorporate walk breaks. The best way to do it is with a watch that has an INTERVAL function. You simply set it to beep whenever you should take the walk break. If you are a beginner, you should be running for 1 or 2 minutes, then walking for 1 minute. Feel free to bring your watch to me if you need help setting this up.
Here's the schedule for week 5: Tues/Thur 30 minutes at the pace of your choice, Fri easy walk, Sun 3 miles run/walk
