There's only one problem, and I use that term lightly: I won't have as much time to train. In fact, I will only have time to run three times per week. Two short runs during the week and a longer run on the weekend. That's all that my teaching schedule allows for. I mean, unless I totally want to bust my butt, but that's never a good thing. And family time is really important to me, so I don't want to give up too much of it to running. So, we'll see. I have high hopes that it'll go well. And with the added bonus of a Spinning class every week, I think my strength and endurance levels will be just fine.
I've come up with the following half marathon training plan, which will remain flexible to leave room for any work-related schedule changes. Or fun, local races that might fit in somehow. We'll see:
Ha!
Question: What, if any, races are you training for right now? What is your biggest challenge when it comes to finding time for all of your runs? Work? Kids? What? How are you coping?
