Half marathon race day prep

Question
QUESTION: Hello,
My topic basically says it all. I am currently training for a half marathon I will be doing shortly. As the race approaches, I am not sure:
1) How I should be changing my training routine 2-1 weeks before the race.
2) How I should be changing my training routine from 1 week to race day.
3) Lastly, what I should be doing on race day?
Unfortunately, the race is at 6:30 in the morning, and I am concerned about getting the right amount of sleep, when I should wake up, how long of a warm up run I should do, what I should eat, and more specifics about what I should and shouldn't do on race day (for this specific starting time).
I appreciate any advice you can give me.
Thanks!

This is the last 8 weeks of the training program that I'm doing. I am 19 years old,  5'8, 150 pounds, and i am have a projected finish time of 1:30. This is the Chicago Rock and Roll Half Marathon occurring August 1st. I know it is going to be a while before it happens, but I am trying to prepare myself in advanced. Unfortunately I cannot call because I would be charged a very high long distance fee. I appreciate it!
Thanks!

Answer
Hi Mitch
The work your doing is exceptional in regards to a lot of speed,but is totally unnecessary since your 1/2 marathon is 7 to 8 months away.You have to back off if the 1/2 is your goal in august.You have to start building your program around early part of april thru early may  with a lot of endurance runs and strength runs.You then want to start with long endurance and strength intervals and tempo's,from late may to early june.Then short intervals of 800's,1600's,3200's with short rest to july 1st.You then have to back off and do some easy jogging with strides at end of run to maintain rhythm and get fresh and ready to race.Any questions just get in touch.We can talk about the last 6 to 7 weeks when your there.The most important run you can do once a week to improve your time is alternating a 1hr 30min and a 2hr run at a very very very easy comfortable pace which will result and  recruit an abundance of mitochondria which are the power plants of the cell that supply's most of the energy to the cell that gives you the ability to run at a very high level pace.If You have any questions just get in touch Mitch.

All the best
