Last week I set out to run Five 5K 's on consecutive days, I didn't know how my body would take it but managed it okay.
By day five I was feeling okay...

Good going. You’d go better than 2:30 on a half though! You could run a 5k then walk the next 16 in two hours
Tried a half marathon which hurt, was amazed to find I was under 2 hours, by 40 secs!
I'm trying desperately to get back into running after really not feeling it all year. I've really got back into cycling which is GOOOD but running is so much more time efficient for weekdays - I can't bring myself to ride in the dark or bad weather for 'fun'. I've signed up for a HM as motivation but it's not working!
Is there some other reward or incentive you can give yourself, if the half marathon goal isn't doing it for you ,??
Hi @Cathryn, it was my first half by default, did a Forest Gump and kept going. Should've bought the new running shoes before rather than after though. Running just seems easier atm and safer.
I find creating a plan tends to work for me, I set one up on Garmin connect and it syncs with my watch, which then tells me what to do. I can get quite unfocussed so having a plan helps, once I have one I tend to follow it!I'm trying desperately to get back into running after really not feeling it all year.

My November goal is to do 100 miles - I used to do this as a matter of course, but haven't done it for over a year now. I might let myself spend some money on Velovixen if I achieve it
