Wow! I can't believe it's been over a year since I have posted here.
I have still been running. Admittedly, it's been much more sporadic over the last year, with a definite uptick the past couple months. Mostly, I've just been running 2-3 miles 2-3 times a week with no firm plans. I didn't register for any races because I was COVID nervous and wanted to wait until I was vaccinated. I'm now vaccinated and plans have been forming.
First....I started to attempt continuous running.Yikes! I am not great at it. I'm up to 25 minutes continuous. I used C25k to do it, but I'm really frustrated with the low mileage. I know I need to build to continuous running, though.
In other news.................I am planning on running the Disney 2023 Marathon. AHHHHHHH. That feels like forever away, but I'm excited and nervous. It's definitely enough time to train. The plan currently is to do a quick 10k plan, then a half plan for the Chicago Spring Half, and then figure out what to do about the Marathon. I also might do a fall half somewhere in there.
I just don't know what exact training plans I'll be using. My main struggle is deciding whether I should switch to continuous running or just stick with run/walk. I'm concerned I'm not far along with continuous running to be able to do a half, let alone a marathon.
If I stick with run/walk, I might just recycle/modify some old plans that
@DopeyBadger gave me. I would love a newer one, but I feel terrible asking after all these months away. I may try to reach out at some point, but
@DopeyBadger do NOT hesitate to say no. I would completely understand.
Lastly, I think I am going to bite the bullet soon and get a Garmin watch. My apple watch is just not doing it for me anymore.
