Earlier this week I was planning on following Jeff Galloways Half Marathon training schedule, but with 7 weeks to prepare, and starting from the end and working backwards, that would mean I'd have to run 11 miles. I'm not quite ready for that.
So instead I've recently switch to the Cool Running half marathon training schedule. It is convenient as 7 weeks from the race, it has the long run being a 7 miler, and having done 5.25 miles last week, I know I can do the 7 miles. Plus, it has some speed work as well, and for the sake of keeping things interesting (and reaching my secondary goal of the half marathon in 2 hrs), I like that aspect of it.
The other thing I wanted to do during this run was calculate my sweat rate. From various sources I've read, it seems that the human body hits a wall around 60 to 90 minutes of exercise if there is no fluid replenishment and/or incoming fuel. In the past, I've definately experienced that.
