I decided to sign up for the iconic New York half marathon with only 7 weeks to train... here's how it went.
After running my first half marathon last year, I had kept up running, but was only doing 5ks and short walking and running sessions. But when the opportunity came for me to run the NYC half marathon - I couldn't pass it up.
So follow along to see how I structured my training plan, learned to use gels, kept up running while traveling for 10 days before race week, and getting back into long runs!
I hope this helps you get inspiration on how to train for a half marathon race + also shows you how rewarding and confidence boosting running can be!
