I’ve WALKED quite a few 5Ks and I’d love to do the Rock & Roll Half, but I wouldn’t be able to run it.

Stick to your plan and you’ll do GREAT!

I used the Hal Higdon program when I trained for my full and it worked out well.

Thank you Ashley! Foam rolling is the best, and I hate it at the same time!! Right now my boys are currently playing with it! LOL!

Rosi, that is great advice! Thank you! I almost let a bad one ruin my day the other day and then someone reminded me that it was still better than sitting on my bum! Good luck at your painting party. I totally understand anxiety with meeting new people! I use essential oils every single time I have to do something like that!

Thank you! I was pretty active prior, I just have never been a fan of running. LOL I have a friend who emailed me a different schedule she put together for me. So I may look into tweaking mine a bit. I will for sure be listening to my body and I’m okay with doing run/walk to reach my goal this time! It will give me something to look forward to next time to!

Yup, out of my comfort zone too but hey, nothing ventured nothing gained! We can cheer each other on thru these long training weeks! Mine is Dec 7! Maybe a Rock n Roll half for me next year! Good luck!

It is huge and crazy. I did it once but it was not a very good representation of what the event is probably like now. I bet you’ll enjoy it.
I know nothing about how often you have worked out or ran prior to starting this training schedule, but it does sound like you are doing a LOT and I would give you a word of caution about being careful not to overtrain and wind up injured. I’ve heard a lot of new runners who use Hal Higdon’s plans overdo it. I don’t want to discourage you at all, though! I’m sure you will listen to your body and adjust as you need. If you ever have any training questions, please feel free to contact me. I’m an RRCA coach and I love helping newbie distance runners get to their finish lines!
