Training to run a half marathon

[TheEd]

so how we doing this side, running easy every 2nd day up to 20 minutes unless told differently

keep things easy .. we have kicked up the routine and there is no rush to make anything intense

this weekend we will look to do 1hr of activity

10 minute walk 20 minute jog and then 10 minute walk followed by 20 minute jog

that will be the highlight of the week

then next week we doing the 2k session again
