Training for a Half Marathon: Week 12
It is officially my twelfth week of training for the half marathon. For the past month, I have been following this schedule:
Until now, the runs have been long but relatively easy. At the start of each run, I have simply put on my headphones and zoned out. But over the next couple weeks, I have to take it up a notch. Now the real training begins. With just under 8 weeks before race day, I need to start timing my splits and training my body to race.
In addition to training my body, I need to train my mind. The most important component of my mental training is creating the perfect playlist. I have been compiling a running playlist for the past couple months but I could use some input! What songs do you listen to on long runs?
