Hi, I've been running consistently since Sept. I'm doing a half in May. I run x3 per week and spin x2 per wk. I'm running 5k (tempo)and 7k (easy) midweek and long run Sunday. I'm up to 13k now on sunday. I take a gel at 6k. However at 10k I'm really struggling. My last 2k is uphill. Do you advise more fuel? At what points? I'm upping my long run by 0.5-1km weekly. Do I need to do the same with midweek runs?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

And hills always help
I don't have a target pace, my goal is to finish- it's my 1st one.
I'm almost 55, (bucket list and all that), I'm slow lol, so I'm now out and on my feet for 1hr 50 on my long run, and have gotten my 5k down by almost 5 mins, and 10k down by 8.5 mins. No run is easy lol, but I love it. Maybe I'm doing this all very wrong, but I don't want to drop back on progress I've made.
