I've got a half marathon coming up in 26th May. Still only up to about 6.5 /7 miles. Did 3 x 10k runs last week... Have I left it too late ? Or do I just wing it on the day and suffer the consequences? Any tips/ advice is much appreciated..
I winged my first one at about the same stage you’re at.
I didn’t find it easy, I was very steady but I enjoyed it and found it informed my training from then on. Glad I did it prepared or not but it’s better to be, and you have time!
It was also minus fucking 3, icy and snowing. What a day.

Yeah, you've got a couple of weeks more preparation time before tapering so go long and slow. Then on race day, go at a very easy pace and you should be OK. You could use caffeine for the second half to help you through.I've got a half marathon coming up in 26th May. Still only up to about 6.5 /7 miles. Did 3 x 10k runs last week...

Today I beat my 5k record 22.35, my 10k record 45.50, and my 15k record 1.09.56! Running at a 7.30 m/m pace, so happy with that, God knows where it came from!

Ive just seen that next week i finish by doing a 20 minute run so if that goes ok then i think i will get signed up.

Be good for you, no pressure, people to run with plus you get to see improvements each week hopefully.
