I'm hoping HC will chime in and let me know if its a reasonable race schedule.

I'm running a 10k this Sunday (2/5)
2/26 10k
3/17 10k
4/1 10 miler
4/28 1/2 marathon

For the last 1 1/2 months, I've been doing a long run on the weekends and slowly increasing the distance and furthest I've gone so far 11.5 miles.

Looks good to me. And you still have time to notch a couple of 13+ mile runs.

You've got them space far enough apart to gauge progress and running a 10 miler (or 15K) that far out will give you a good predictor of your half marathon time. (assuming similar weather and course profile)

Hey HC,

Check out my post in the "did you exercise today" thread, could really use your advice and expertise.

Thanks

Thanks HC! The 1/2 marathon course is along the river which is where I do 90% of my running so it will be on familiar terrain.

I'll post my progress.
