1/2 Marathon Training

Vicki Kavanaugh, Race Coordinator from Gazelle Sports in Holland says:

I’m training for a half marathon right now. It will be my second 1/2 marathon and, so far, my training has been going well, especially my long runs. I used to dread going out there for all those miles, but now it seems to be just a routine thing I do. I find that doing long runs with other people helps me tremendously, taking my mind off the often monotonous pounding of each and every mile. I’m also running this half marathon to raise money for cancer research, and I think that “dedicating” my running to a higher cause has also helped me to just get the miles in. What do you do to help with your long runs?
