4 or 5 days (Read 458 times)

Hello! I'm planning to do a half in June and am making my schedule. It will be my first, but only because I got injured 3 weeks before the one I was going to do in the beginning of march. Regardless I am making my schedule and am debating on 4 or 5 days of running. Right now I am running 3 days a week as I am coming off of my knee injury. Plan on adding a 4th day this week. Running 4 days next week and then possibly hoping to 5 depending of course on if I pick a 4 or 5 day a week run. So here is a 2 week sample of the 5 day: Rest 3 4 3 Rest 2 8 20 (total) Rest 3 4 3 Rest 3 9 22 (total) Or would it be better to take one of those shorter runs and spread it out to make one of the runs a middle distance. Because at the end where I have a 12mi my longest weekday run is 5mi and I wonder if it should be more like 7mi ?? So my questions are does there need to be a mid-week run that is at least half of your long run distance? If so, then I need to do 4 days, if it doesn't matter which is better 4 or 5 days?

that was where i was hoping my last couple weeks before the half would be but i'm concerned about building to quickly and re-hurting myself. but i think i might see how the next couple of weeks go and adjust where necessary!
