Half Marathon Training – Training ideas and common mistakes
There’s a lot of discussion locally (in Lexington, Kentucky) about training for a half marathon due to the inaugural – Lexington Half Marathon.

I got the question again a week ago, “What should I eat?” I have written about how I approach this question before on a posted I titled: Why the farmer’s market is a triathlete’s best friend. There are different responses to the way I handle this question, but here are the four general responses I get: 1.
