I completed a half-marathon yesterday using a 6-week mid-volume half-marathon plan off the back of my 8-week mid-volume Olympic triathlon plan. I felt happy that my Athletica training had prepared me perfectly for the race and I went into the race planning to negative split, trying to be disciplined to hold back on the pace in the first 5K. Everything went so well that at half-way my HR was well under control, so I felt the confidence to up my pace by a little. I finished the race in 1:47, really exceeding my expectations of what I was capable of. Some races don’t play out quite as planned, but when they do, it is a special moment.
