Planning my first HIM in September. The long run is going to be my hardest part. This is my second year of tri's. I did a few sprints and an Oly last year. This year I've already done 3 sprints and another Oly. Figure I'll give a HIM this fall. Got another Oly planned for July as well. Here is my plan for long runs leading up to the HIM. Think this will work? Taper the last 2 weeks. My goal is only to finish. I am a slow runner as well so I'm not too worried about speed. I would however like to run as much of it and walk as little as possible.
