This, my friends, is a guide to how NOT to train for a half marathon. There are plenty of books, articles and training plans about how you SHOULD train for a long run but very few, if any, that tell you how NOT too, that is where I come in.

So, in an effort to verify the knowledge of the experts, and to see if what they say carries any amount of validity, I decided to knowingly break all the rules behind training for a 13.1 mile run in regards to both science and common sense, all in the name of research of course.

The winners are like gunfighters, there's always some young cat in the next town waiting to send you to boot hill. Congratulations Charlie.
