  • just about building up and getting used to distance

    ^ this.

    I disagree with @Arducius, although acknowledge there's more than one way to get faster.

    More slow miles from extra runs at this stage will set you up better with lower risk of injury & give you a good foundation for the future. Gradually build your weekly mileage from 11 up to mid 20's (should take a few weeks so a bit late for this hm).

    It sounds like a relatively long slow run on Sunday mornings is what is really missing at the mo & speedwork should only come in once you have that foundation.

  • there's more than one way to get faster.

    Oh yeah, totally! Consistent running as you say will get results too. Hadn't clocked the short timescales.

  • Yeah the crushing realisation that I have less than 3 weeks till the 'race'. Will probably try and pile the miles on in the next couple of weeks, with a mix of distances and intensities. I'm young so not too worried about over training. Would 4-5 days rest before a half suffice?
