Two Months Until CBHM-Ask Jim has a Training Schedule for You

Ask Jim has a Training Schedule for you!
How long should your weekend long runs be as you prepare for CBHM?
I suggest running timed runs as follows. Run out-and-back routes so you know to turn around when half the time is up.
During your warm up start really slow, even walking is good.
Give you body a chance to get the juices flowing gradually, then slow it down during the cool down to begin the recovery process.

It’s all about patience and restraint as you prepare for a half or full marathon. You want to get to the line fresh and injury free so you can enjoy the race.
