  • On days when I don't want to run, I tell myself to get out and do a mile out and if I still don't feel like running then I can turn around and head back. Everytime I have done that I have always finished my normally planned run. If you still struggle with motivation find a running group, if you don't already have one.…

  • The brush your teeth idea is a great one. I have to force myself to not eat. I will sometimes just start chewing gum like crazy so at least I have something going on.

  • I don't think it will hurt you for a long run once in awhile to break it up, but if you have to do it for all your long runs you won't get the benefit of being out on your feet running for the entire time. Good Luck!

  • Since I am currently on the disabled list, I am not sure what my mileage goal will be for the year, probably 1500 Miles and at least 1 15K, 2 Half marathons, 1 full marathon and some other fun races that I enjoy running that happen here in Jacksonville.

  • There are a lot of training plans available online. Look for Hal Higdon, he has some good ones. Find a plan that feels comfortable to you and just follow it. If work or life makes you alter the schedule a little, don't let it bother you, it won't hurt you. The biggest thing is to be safe as you bump your weekly mileage. If…
    in Half marathon HELP!!! Comment by Floridaboiler January 2012
  • Congratulations on deciding to run a half marthon ! Please remember to have fun. Run your race and don't worry about what other runners around you are doing. Your coach will probably tell you the same thing. For race day, you don't really need a water bottle during the race. There are always plenty of water stations. The…

Unfortunately last…
