    Hi

    What should my strategy be two weeks out from running my first half marathon. I’ve been training for about 4 months, running various distances including three 20km runs in the last 3 weeks.

    It’s two weeks out now from the half marathon, what should my strategy be now, a few short runs or maybe another long run in the next 10 days or just lay off the long run altogether. Thanks.

    You could certainly continue whatever you've been doing for the next week, reducing overall weekly mileage by 10/15% - you could still do a 10 mile / 15k long run.
    The week leading up to the half you can do a few easy shorter runs, maybe including a few strides at the end. For example if I was running a half marathon on a Saturday, I'd do nothing on the Thursday and depending on how I'm feeling will do 3 miles very easy on the Friday.
