Running my first-ever official race 2 weeks from tomorrow. While I've been (sort of) training of several weeks now, my longest run so far has been 10.5 miles (this morning, actually), which I ran in 1:26 (nothing to write home about, just mentioning it so people have a sense of where I'm at). Given my two-week time frame at this point, does it make sense to run at least one (or more) full half before race day, or should I just focus on improving my time over shorter distances? I generally have pretty good recovery time when it comes to runs, so not super worried about over-training, but it would be good to hear any advice on what people think are the optimal strategy is.
Thanks in advance,
A.
