Hi everyone :) I am running my first half marathon in just over a month in Maine. I’m driving from Pennsylvania so it should be between 8-10 hours. I’ve done this drive before and know it will be a long day. My race is on a Sunday and I was planning on driving up on Friday afternoon after work. I get off at 3:30 and was thinking of just heading straight there.
Will I be okay driving that entire distance on Friday and running on Sunday? The longest run I have under my belt going into my last month of training is 3.5 miles and I felt pretty fine body wise afterwards. My training split is increasing my mileage by adding an extra mile each long run per week. I should be running 7-8 miles for my last run before hitting my taper week.
Any insight/ tips for the travel situation? Also wouldn’t mind any extra tips related to running my half.
