I use HH training programs too and they work. Hopefully your half is in a cool weathered state!

Sounds like a fun plan! I live in Houston and haven't done the Austin Half yet, but I hope to...once I get bored with all the Houston area races For the races I travel to, I like to stay near the start line so I can just walk downstairs from my room and not have to drive anywhere. I've only done it once but it was quite nice I'm going to the San Antonio Rock N Roll Half this weekend with my run club. They say it's awesome, so you'll have to check that out too while you're here!

For celebrating, the popular place/area in Austin is 6th Street: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6th_Street_(Austin)

Good luck on your move! Will you be living in the Austin area?

Ginny, did you get to do your 5k today?

C25k grad - Should I work on running longer or faster?

I would choose option B. Work up to a full 3 miles and then keep doing that for your runs until it's comfortable for you... then start increasing distance 10% per week

does anyone else ever just give up?

Seems like you are expecting too much too soon... if you can only run 2 minutes at a time you can't really expect to run like lightning... I would suggest building up to running 30 minutes in a row using one of the plans mentioned by other posters and THEN enter another 5k and you'll see much better results

My last run was...how was yours?

My last run was 15 miles...my longest run ever and I felt like I would die when I was done

Congratulations!!!

Really confused about pace language???

guest — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 15:16:48 GMT

Are you new to running? I had no idea about pace when I first started. The more races I do, the more I am able to estimate my pace better in races and training runs. Also, I track my pace with garmin so ... just with experience and charting it you can figure it out. When you do 5k's you run a bit faster than a 10k and etc...
