Half-marathon in 4 weeks? – Easy

3 Comments Posted by on 2011-09-15

Others might say it’s dangerous due to a high risk of injuries, etc., but for me it was a very pleasant experience. I had four weeks for my preparation: did 13 runs, 2 of them were more than 10 km long.

I did my first half-marathon at a relaxed, easy pace; finished with 1:51:28 (Update: real calculated time is 1:50:12). No injuries, no problems, just had a very good time :)

I have started thinking about doing a full marathon, will probably require_a_bit_more_preparation…

    Way to go dude!

    …however, running 21kms without much preparation could lead to serious injuries (knees, shins), even if you feel fit enough to run such a distance. Trust me, I know ;-(

    By coincidence, I will be running 10Miles this Sunday (Amsterdam Dam-tot-Dam loop). Wish me luck.

    Good luck with the preparation for future runs!
