Thanks, Kathryn! I agree, totally worth it after you cross the finish line

I definitely need to try a podcast at some point and see if it works for me too!

I definitely agree with the breathing part! I need to check out your playlist! Thanks for sharing

What an amazing accomplishment, not to mention an inspiring article. I remember running my first 1/2 and it is by no means easy. I agree with you though, the key is finding something that motivates YOU. No matter how many I run, the feeling of racing (or in my case, slugging) across the finish line makes all the training worthwhile 🙂

Now that I started training for the half marathon, I'm already pretty bored! Guess I'll have to give that a try!

I’m a slow runner, so going for hours without entertainment would have been torture! Podcasts saved me during my first half marathon for sure.

I always found it hard to follow a shedule made by someone else.. so I never followed it.. I think yours would fit me much better. Reading this, makes me want to do it again. On a recent blog post (http://betweensaturdayandsunday.blogspot.be/) I shared my favorite workout-songs (also a lot of hiphop songs).
I totally agree you when you say that a well build body does not make it easier, for some people it goes just more fluent than others (I also think it has a lot to do with breathing and so on,..).

I might not be a runner, but all these tips can be applied to any given task you set your mind to.

Currently thinking of doing a 10k so I think a lot of the tips apply all the same. Thank you! 🙂
