Subject: RE: Concerns with 1/2 IM planIf you need to run a full 13.1 for your psyche, is up to you. But if you are following your plan, it's ok that you only can get up to 10, IMO. You WILL be able to grind out those last 3 miles in the race. For example, most marathon plans have you max out at 20 miles a couple times before the actual race. My IM plan had me out for 3 hour long runs. I could only do 17-18 miles in that time frame. I was able to finish just fine and turned in a pretty good marathon split (sub 5 hours) considering it was my first IM and first marathon (first time running over 18 miles, actually). I wouldn't sweat it and stick to the plan. |
