I was trying too hard to transition and still get my normal runs in training for my upcomming Half, and it was a disaster. Blisters, loss of form, serious leg pain... I was doing too much. I have 25 days until my first Half ever and I have backed off any real transition attempt for now to barefoot. Also doesn't help that it keeps snowing around here.
