I finished up a step-back week in this half marathon cycle today with a long run that a few weeks ago would have felt very long, but today, not so much. I’ll be back to hitting 13-14 miles next weekend. As for today, since it was shorter, I added in some threshold miles to keep things interesting, 3 miles with a half-mile recovery after each of them. The first one was pretty quick but on the next two I slipped back. I guess that just means there is more work to be done. And it will be. I will be fit by race day. 7 weeks to go.
