Subject: RE: Really nervous Scout7 - 2011-11-29 2:53 PM Use the C25K plan. But the real thing to keep in mind is that you gotta run at an easy effort level most of the time. Like, easy easy. x11billionty. 20 min and 12 min shouldn't be overwhelming - you do this on the way to work, up the stairs, to lunch. It's just a question of how fast. Go at a very reasonable(read: slower than you ever thought you'd run) pace for the first little while, let your legs acclimate. BTW...you have over 3 months until your race. No need to knock out race-day fitness in the next day or two...you've got time. Use it. Yeah, I know it looms large, but trust the plans... |
