Joining along for this 2020 thread. I hopped on the 2019 thread but failed to do more than lurk. Hoping with my races this year I'll post more often.
QOTD: What are you running / health related goals of 2020?
When I ran my first - and only - half in DLP - I didn't do as well as I liked and thus started looking into the reasoning behind why that was so. After becoming way more educated in race training I realized I did just about everything wrong. I had no idea you weren't supposed to run every single run at race pace, supposed to include speed work into the schedule, and cross trained a whopping three times.
I also followed a cut and dry plan that a coworker had given me years prior which didn't account for my (lack of) running history.
All in all, it was a mess. And so in 2020, I hope with knowledge comes a much more enjoyable year of running. I want to train smarter and enjoy the races I participate in.
