Greetings! I am racing in a half marathon over Labor Day Weekend, and might possibly do another one 6 weeks later. My question is, is that too far apart or too close to still do well? Should I pick one even closer, or further? And if I stick with it, any recommendations for workouts in between to maintain fitness, maybe even gain some more speed? Your advice is appreciated:)
Bump
Anyone? :/
Would also be interested in how close together one could run 2 half marathons well.
Hopefully someone will answer:)
Periodize, what are your fitness goals for 6 months from now, a year from now? If you can still accomplish them doing both races with whatever strategy, then its possible if you think your in peak shape. But if you think your easy run pace can come down, or your long runs could be more quality, I would do those things before I do another race
There's an interview with Geoffrey mutai and kipsang on YouTube where he talks about training and racing for the half and 10k. It's like an herbalife informercial.
