I start my fifth week of half-marathon training today. The first four weeks went well. I'm running about 20 miles/week (~3 hours and 15 minutes--I'm trying to emphasize time as opposed to distance--e.g., 1 hour on Wed. and Fri. and 1-2 hours on Sunday)--two short runs during the week and about a 10-mile long run on the weekends. My longest long run will be 12-14 miles. My brother is adapting well. He likely will smoke me.
Week 5: 1-hour runs on Wed. and Fri.; Highland Lake 10K on Sunday
Weeks 6, 7, 8: same; 1-2 hour long run on Sunday
I might add 20 additional minutes of running on Monday or Tuesday night just to work on ridding muscles of acid build-up and cardiac development. I feel tired during Wednesday's workouts. In addition to all of this running, I bike one or two times per week and do a lot of core strengthening exercises.
