[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me again. I reread your posts. I think it's possible you're running too much. Are you still biking?

Running is very trendy with fitness influencers right now. Some of their tips are bound to be bad. When you said you were looking at 7 or 8 hours of running -- that sets off an alarm for me. I'm older than you and have been running for a long time. I probably run about 4 hours per week. Two 30-minute runs and two hour-long runs. I don't have any more time than that. [/quote]

Sorry I didn't see this and both your responses were really helpful. No I haven't been biking, have really eased off everything and have been sitting around wondering how on earth people find time to exercise as much as they say! I have yet to manage that many hours and have been feeling insufficient so this type of 'real people don't do this' is exactly the kind of reality check I needed.

I was doing a lot of concentrated speed work over the summer, 400s and 800s on a track for the 10k. But figured I needed to shift to distance for the half so have been doing much less speed work and more just increasing mileage.

OK, good.

I think you are on the right track, for real. I really encourage you to sign up for a race of any distance, soon. I think you will see nice improvement from that humid summer race.
