@cynthiaeps Welcome to Steemit! I am happy to meet a fellow runner.
I did half marathon a couple of times, and if you'd like, I'd love to help you train for it
and finish it strong. I've helped a few friends to finish 10K and half marathons :)
Anyhow, welcome to the community and I look forward to your posts!
Thank you :) That's a really nice offer! I've started a (hopefully realistic) trainingsschedule for the half marathon, but tips are more than welcome. Have you planned a next run already?
Hi @cynthiaeps, sorry for long delay. I just figured out how to see all the comments on what I wrote :P how is your training schedule looking like? I could share some tips based on that, maybe :) one thing I want to ask is are you doing any strength workout, be it weight lifting or free-weight body workouts? Runners tend to forget importance of these workouts, and end up losing bone density, muscle strength, and get injured easily. My next run/race will be a 10K in March.. when is your half marathon?
Hi! No worries! It took me a while to figure it out as well. I do bootcamp once a week which I use as an intervall training. And I do a "short" run 5-8 km during weekdays and try to do a longer run in the weekends. Last Sunday I ran 15km and next Sunday I will try to run 16km or so. But I fell of my bike yesterday so I hope my knees are feeling better on Sunday. It is the 11th of March.
