How quick do you lose your training?
My 1/2 was Oct 12 & I signed up for one 12/8, but sadly I haven't had a long run since a week after the 1/2.
I've been batting a cold, & when the congestion got worse I finally started a zpac yesterday. I'm hoping to feel better by next week, but great we are dropping to the 30s, snow even, & I've never even run in the cold before. So hopefully I'll be well enough for my long run, but not ideal temps to rebuild myself.
I did run earlier this week 5 miles 3x, & they were pretty effortless even with the cold. But then the exhaustion & congestion got much worse...
Do you 3 weeks of training will be enough to respark myself back into 1/2 condition.

You'll be fine! Get out there when you can and don't try for a r in the race. You can do it, what half is on 12/8 I'm itching already I miss NYC training

I agree. You'll be fine. You don't lose running fitness as quickly as you think.
Good luck!

Re: How quick do you lose your training?
Thank you all for the encouragement. It's a 1/2 here in NC. It benefits Childhood Obesity programs by me. It meant a lot to do & have my 2 girls cheer in the sides. I wanted enjoy it, not struggle
