Half-Marathon Training with East Nasty

Last December to re-motivate myself and get back into the swing of things I decided to sign up for my 1st Half-Marathon. I was super excited until I realized I had just committed myself to run the furthest I had ever considered running before. I had no experience in endurance running and had no idea where to begin.

East Nasty 1/2 Marathon Training
Luckily, I found a running group in East Nashville, called East Nasty, who provided free 1/2 Marathon training for the Rock N' Roll St.Jude Half Marathon in April. I have been training with them all winter long and cannot wait to cross that finish line. This organization encourages runners of all magnitudes and is always willing to help those who seek help. They hold a weekly Wednesday run normally consisting of ~4 miles. The Half- Marathon training consists of a structured Thursday speed session, either tempo or hill, and a Sunday long run.
