So when Rachel and I signed up in August 2014 to run the Tinkerbell Half Marathon at Disneyland, we were reaching a bit out of our comfort zone. Both of us had always wanted to participate in a runDisney half marathon, and we had run the miserably hot Castaway Cay 5k just a few months prior. We thought that this would be a great goal for us to work towards and a unique way to keep us connected from coast to coast.
Fast-forward to March 2015.... neither of us had really been running. I was still pretty active, going to spin class twice a week and weight training 3-4 days a week. But no running. Rachel found the Hal Higdon's 1/2 Marathon - Novice 2 Training Program app and suggested that I use it to train, as well. It's a nice app to run with because you can play your own music through the app, and it updates you throughout your run with distance, time, and pace. But as far as how great it is for half marathon training, I can't really say, because I only ran with the app maybe a total of five times.
