Just finished my first half (austin half marathon) in 2:05, which is ok I suppose. I didn’t really train other than running a 10k last weekend
Congrats on pushing yourself and not putting off the half despite being last minute decision.
And 2:05 with no specific training for that distance is solid.

Sounds like a great idea to me. (I have run 7 mi, 12 mi, and 15.6 mi the last 3 Sundays)
Maybe others who respond to you can also advise me as I am looking to run a drastic increase in a short amount of time.
I have a 50k I want to run on 3/2.
I ran 25k yesterday. 55 miles so far in February, 43 miles in January.
Essentially zero miles in 2018.
My plan is to run 5-6x weekly this week and next with long runs of 20 miles on 2/17 and 16 miles on 2/23 and 2/24. 4-8 mile runs in between.
The 50k has an 11 hour cutoff. I am shooting for 7-8 hours. The 25k yesterday was 4 hours.
Time is not important, this is a personal challenge to change my lifestyle. I "ran"a 26 mile off the couch several years ago, in 7.5 hours lol, so I am pretty confident I can find the will to complete the 50k barring injury.
I am just wondering what is the best prep on short time. Is 20 miles and 16/16 necessary or would it be better to just shoot for 40-50 mpw with 10-15 mile long runs?
The 50k is at 5200 ft with 3500 ft elevation gain . (Not 100% sure about those numbers).
I am training at 3500 ft, with options for long runs at 7000-8000 ft and 2000 ft elevation gain.
Any recommendations for distance and elevation targets?
TIA

Any tips for maximizing phone battery life while using Strava?
It looks like my phone is maxing out around 4.5 hours if using Strava and podcast player at same time. I haven't hit that red line yet but will likely approach it on my long runs over the next 3 weeks and then my 50k with an anticipated time of around 6-8 hours (I am more of a jogger than a runner).
Does Strava work in airplane mode?
I can go without music/podcasts if necessary.
Or is this where I would join the big boys and buy a watch?
