Not a big HM, it's the Vitality half that I signed up for what seems like years ago and after countless postponements has crept up on me now. I also have the Royal Parks one in 10th October which seems a more reasonable target for an okish time.
Yes to the strength work, have been doing a fair bit last 6 months and will continue to do it as I build up distance.
I think you're right, I'll keep it in the diary but if I don't feel right in the lead up I'll ease off and let someone else take the place. If I'm fine I'll treat it as a long training run with eyes firmly set on the Royal Parks one for a time. My goal at the beginning of the year was sub 1:45 but that's wildly unrealistic now and needs to be kicked into 2022.
