Half Marathon Training - Days 11-20

While I managed to complete Cycle 2, I didn't manage to do the workouts on the correct days due to weather and having to travel for work. I made sure that I didn't do the hard sessions on consecutive days, so I don't think changing the order of the workouts matters all that much.

Overall, the cycle went well. My tempo miles and long run both felt good. I had to run two of my workouts (including my Speedwork) on the Treadmill (in a Hotel) as I was traveling for work, and I hate the Treadmill!

Cycle 3 begins today with a 30 minute tempo run.
