No point increasing the load this close to your half marathon - you'll just end up tired on the day. Repeat last week's training and then ease up week before the event.

I'm running up to 15km (9 miles) at the moment (about 90mins). While this doesnt present a problem overall and i could see myself doing 13 miles, some things change. A bit of chaffing in the shorts (not nice) hot spots in my shoes, dehydration are all becoming issues I will have to deal with if i want to keep running. So…

Obviously you want outcome1 so the issue is the risk involved. You can achieve outcome 1 - a time that reduces the risk of strain and set-backs -…

In this instance, I don't think that signing up to put pressure on yourself is a good idea. Are you in the UK? If so, google Parkrun and see if there is one near you. It's a timed 5k every sat morning. Attracts all sorts, from good runners to those that walk the whole thing - so you definitely won't feel out of place. You…
