Half Marathon Training perfect for your long-term goals
Successful half marathon training involves focusing on both your aerobic fitness, your strength building, and working on your distance and speed running. You might also want to do some cross
training or resistance training to round out your program.
You can prepare for a half marathon with a 12 -24 week program. You can find complete programs online that target all different level runners, from walkers, to newbies, to those with intermediate fitness and the consummate athlete who hasn’t
run in a marathon before. Plan to cover about 33 miles a week to get you ready for your half marathon. You’ll need to work yourself up to that length, but limit increasing your length goals by about 10% a week.
A half marathon is a nice distance that will bridge the gap between your last 5-K or 10-K. It will give you a good idea of what a full marathon will be like to run in.
Half-marathons are also great ways for you get tuned up before you run in a full marathon. It lets you work out your pacing, nutrition, and any other concerns that you don’t want to go into a full marathon without a little bit of experience. Don’t run in a half-marathon any later than one month before you scheduled full marathon.
