Training Program

If you're looking to do the Half Marathon either Running or Walking, the following program should get you through the event comfortably.

This is based on time on your feet which you will be doing on the day.  It is important that you go into the event with confidence and finish comfortably without injuring yourself before, on the day or afterwards.

Many people have the ambition and don't understand what it takes to execute an event, without injuring themselves, while they're on the journey. 

The following program, if followed will get you to the finish line comfortably. If you're looking to do the half faster or in a specific time, contact me and I can tailor a program for you .

This is a 12 week program and this is the minimum lead in time for a Half Marathon, preferably longer if you have the time and base fitness.

The other tip is to learn is pace setting.  The easiest way to learn this is out and back run/walking.  Run/walk out half the time you're going to be out for, then turn and run/walk back, this should be the same time as you went out.  If it is slower you started too fast, if it is faster you started too slow.  You want to be able to run/walk every km at the same pace.
