Training Schedule
A well-structured training schedule is crucial for half marathon success. Aim for a 12-week training plan that includes a mix of long runs, speed work, and recovery days.
Weeks 1-4: Base Building
Start with shorter runs, gradually increasing your weekly mileage. Focus on building a strong aerobic base.
Weeks 5-8: Increasing Intensity
Introduce speed workouts and hill training to build strength and speed. Incorporate at least one long run each week.
Weeks 9-12: Tapering
As race day approaches, reduce your mileage to allow your body to recover and be ready for the race.
