    Hi Folks, Ive run one ten k and have been doin a bit of extra training. I ran ten mile there last week and taught i was gonna die after it but anyway my question is this, what is the best way to prepare for a half marathon in 3 weeks? Should i try run 13 mile before it or not? Its the Enniscorthy half on26 June and im determined to give it a shot. Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hey there, I'm no expert at all, but if I were you I'd do 11 this weekend, and 12 next weekend, and then 10 again the following weekend. Just take it nice and slow, and you'll be grand, especially if you are more focused on completing and enjoying the half, rather than aiming for a certain time, iykwim.

    Enniscorthy was the first half I did last year, and I really enjoyed it. Just pace yourself well for the first half (which is harder than the second half)
    Best of luck :)
