Half marathon this weekend?

Question

I have a half marathon this weekend and I'm getting nervous, the farthest I've run is 8 miles, which I have done several times in the past few weeks, but I do it on the street without stopping for water and such that the half is going to provide. Has anyone ever done this big of a mileage increase before?

Answer 1

I've never done that, make sure you take in water and a sports drink at every water stop, and make sure you eat good the night before the race...

Answer 2

lol I was in the same place as you mate... I went from 4kms a day straght to a half marathon 21.1kms... But now I run a half Marathon Every Saturday.
