Potential PT #2 – Half Marathon Training

After a week with tapered workouts to be certain we were avoiding overtraining, we are now back on track!  The next 3 weeks are going to be tough with the runs and workouts on top of the half marathon training, but they are also very critical within realms of the training design.
