I've been a daft bugger and have gone and committed (injury-free knee and calf depending) to a half marathon on November 10th.
However, I've only been trundling round 5Ks recently, and have only just recovered from a calf strain (twice in 3 weeks, so an enforced month of no running). I've done longish runs in the dim and distant past, but nothing like this in the last couple of decades!
I've found several 10 week 5k to half-mara plans, so it's doable, but I just wanted to see if anyone has done that sort of jump in distance before?
Also - what's the drill regarding shedding clothes and stuff on a cold race day? Do I take layers and a running backpack to stuff them in? Or label them and deposit on stations? Not good on the logistics of these things as I've never done a 'proper' race before.
Thanks!
