Running

I’m really starting to enjoy the half marathon distance.

First HM was about 3 months ago and it was a total disaster.

what was your "normal" running distance 3 months ago then.... what fixed it... let me guess, regular training?

thx - was asking as I can do 10k comfortably now and try to extend slowly to half marathon. Coming up end of June here in Munich - so I got a bit of time. Running 3x a week, the plan is 2 shorter 10-12k runs and a longer run over the weekend (~18-20k). Hope this roughly makes sense.

My long runs were 5-6 miles so my first HM was big a shock, especially for my IT band. Since then, my long runs have been 10+ miles while incorporating more stretching and strength training. My IT band is still an issue but I’m managing it better.
