DIVA IS COMING SO SOON
Im really excited to be running it BUT Im only up to barely running 7 miles. Thats the most Ive done and I had to stop a few times to walk. Will I be okay to complete this distance?? Im so stressed about it ...

Re: DIVA IS COMING SO SOON
you will be totally fine!
Are you following a training program? I love Hal Higgeons program for beginners. I have followed that program for all of my halfs. His program only gets you to 10 miles before the big day!
This will be my 5th half and I just moved to the intermediate level which gets me to 12 miles. I still walk all the time, esp when I am training. its more important to get the miles in rather than running it for a time, ESP when training for your first race!
Walking is good too, esp in this heat!

Re: DIVA IS COMING SO SOON
I am running the entenmanns half (same weekend as the diva) and ran 8.25 yesterday. I felt good, but then though of having to run 5 more miles.  We will get through it! I don't see a prob if you have to walk a minute to recharge.

Re: DIVA IS COMING SO SOON
Lots of training plans encourage walking and slower paces for the long run. You'll be fine. The energy on race day will get you to the finish

Re: DIVA IS COMING SO SOON
Don't stress it!
You should check out Jeff Galloway - he encourages walk breaks and finds that some people have overall faster times when they schedule walk breaks - check it out!
I am returning to running after a serious injury and have been exclusively run/walking - so far I feel great.

Re: DIVA IS COMING SO SOON
Don't stress about it! I used to run 1/2 marathons all the time and for my first few I was always so nervous.
I just went in with the attitude if I have to walk a little that is ok....without pressuring myself I was always able to run the whole thing!
good luck!!
