Yesterday morning, little T and I ventured out for a bike ride along the paved urban trail here in Atlanta known as the Beltine, which (when it’s completed) will stretch all the way around the city, connecting neighborhoods and districts that for decades have been as disconnected from one another as islands out on the sea, distant and alone.
My 12-week half marathon training plan

1 week ago | thehalfmarathoner.com | Terrell Johnson

Morning, friends! ☀️ This isn’t a typical issue of our newsletter, but I wanted to share with you some full versions of the training plans we’ve used in the past, in case you’ve been looking for a plan to train for a race this summer. There’s a good chance you’ve already seen this plan if you’ve been reading for a while (we’ve used it to train together before).
A quick note

1 week ago | thehalfmarathoner.com | Terrell Johnson

I’m afraid I’ve had a combination of feeling a bit under the weather and some obligations that just got away from me this week, which means I’m on pause for our regular Sunday races + recommendations issue. Don’t worry, though — next week, I’ll be back with a big double issue with everything we missed this week. I hope you’ve had a re…
Hearing your stories: Ken Morrison

2 weeks ago | thehalfmarathoner.com | Terrell Johnson

Morning, friends! ☀️ You may remember a few weeks ago, when I put out a call to share your stories about how you became a runner and where running has taken you. We’ve heard from Rosalie Chan and Erinn Connor, and now it’s time to hear from another longtime THM reader, Ken Morrison. I’m (still!) loving reading each and every one of your stories, and I’ll be sharing more of them over the coming days and weeks. Some will be in written format like this, while others will be in audio/video.
ðŸ’¬ Friday Thread: Where in the world would you love to go run?

2 weeks ago | thehalfmarathoner.com | Terrell Johnson

Even though I donâ€™t write (often) about it here, Iâ€™m not oblivious to whatâ€™s going on in the world around me. Just like you, I watch and hear the news, and see all the numbers flashing in the stock market too. (And breathe a heavy sighâ€¦)Which means, maybe today might be the perfect time to do a little daydreaming, right? This morning, I just happened to pick up an old book off my shelf, Becky Wadeâ€™s Run The World: My 3,500-Mile Journey Through Running Cultures Around the Globe.

What Keeps You Going

3 weeks ago | thehalfmarathoner.com | Terrell Johnson

Morning, friends! ☀️As I write this to you on Sunday morning, it’s dark and cloudy outside, as rain showers are headed our way for most of the day. Which makes me really glad I got in an outdoor run yesterday morning, with an old friend of mine. I hadn’t seen him in ages, though each time we run into each other, we say to the other, “we have to go for a run together sometime.”I’d been meaning to reach out to him, I really had. I don’t know why I kept forgetting to actually do it, though.
Hearing your stories: Erinn Connor

Evening/afternoon, friends! ☀️ You may remember a few weeks ago, when I put out a call to share your stories about how you became a runner and where running has taken you. Last week, we heard from Rosalie Chan, and today we’re meeting another longtime THM reader, Erinn Connor. I’m (still!) loving reading each and every one of your stories, and I’ll be sharing more of them over the coming days and weeks. Some will be in written format like this, while others will be in audio/video.
Adapting to Change

1 month ago | thehalfmarathoner.com | Terrell Johnson

Something very interesting, yet at the same time very disconcerting, is happening in our lives. Our youngest — whom I’ve written about to you more than a few times over the years — is now eleven and a half years old, going on twenty-four (or at least it seems like it some days!). In a lot of ways, he’s still very much a little boy: mo…
💬 Friday Thread: How is your running/fitness going?

1 month ago | thehalfmarathoner.com | Terrell Johnson

Good morning, everyone! ☀️ As of today, spring is officially here! (Can you believe it?) To kick us off this morning, I thought I’d ask a question I ask occasionally, but I always love because I feel like we’re one big group, out there doing our individual things, and this gives us a chance to come together, even if it’s only virtually. So, how is your running going so far this year?
