I ran my 1st half marathon this year, and it really kicked my butt. I have been biking now consistently for a number of years, but training to run really did me in. I don't know whether it is the pounding on the body that every runner experiences, or bad running form on my part for longer distances than 2-3 miles, but I am still hurting from the run 3 weeks later. Here are a few things I learned running my 1st half.
1. I lost 8-10 lbs training for this run. I have never really lost weight biking.
2. There are far more runners out there than cyclist. people resonate with what you are training for.
3. It is absolutely miserable to run 13.1 miles alone.
4. Having a written down training plan is very helpful in getting yourself prepared.
5. I am a long ways off from being ready for a full marathon (26.2).
