THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING A HALF MARATHON PLAN

Adhering to a half marathon plan is crucial for optimizing performance, preventing injuries, and ensuring consistent training, ultimately leading to better race outcomes and personal goal achievement.

OUR BIGGEST TIPS FOR TRAINING FOR A HALF MARATHON IN 10 WEEKS

Preparing for a half marathon in 10 weeks demands meticulous focus, unwavering discipline, and intentional training. Here are our biggest tips:

Assess Your Current Fitness Level

Verify a strong running foundation prior to undertaking a half marathon with limited preparation time. Ideally, running comfortably up to half the marathon distance is recommended before embarking on this condensed schedule.

Intensify Your Training Carefully

Smartly enhance your running distance and effort to prevent burnout and injuries. Mix in extended runs for stamina, speed exercises for quicker pace, and restorative jogs for better recovery.

Prioritize Long Runs

Your weekly long run is the cornerstone of half marathon training, gradually increasing in distance to prepare your body for the half marathon's demands.

Emphasize Rest and Rehabilitation

Given the tight training schedule, the significance of recovery intensifies. Guarantee sufficient rest, proper diet, and fluid intake. Integrate days for active recovery, along with massage and flexibility exercises to aid in muscle recuperation.

Plan Your Race Strategy

Develop a race-day strategy that includes pacing, nutrition, hydration, and dealing with potential challenges. Knowing your plan can help reduce anxiety and improve performance.

Be Flexible and Listen to Your Body

Be prepared to adjust your training plan based on how your body responds. Rest if you're feeling overly fatigued or injured.

RECOVERY EASY RUNS

PROGRESSION RUNS

Progression runs start at an easy pace and gradually increase to race pace or faster, improving endurance and mental toughness.

FARTLEKS

Fartleks combine continuous running with varied speed intervals, enhancing both aerobic and anaerobic systems, making them flexible and fun speed training.

INTERVALS

Intervals involve short, high-intensity running bursts followed by recovery periods, boosting speed and cardiovascular efficiency, crucial for half marathon success.

HALF MARATHON PACE TRAINING RUNS

Half marathon pace training runs simulate race conditions by running at target half marathon pace, improving stamina, pace discipline, and race-day readiness.

REST DAYS

Rest days are critical for recovery, allowing muscles to repair, rebuild, and strengthen, reducing injury risk and enhancing training adaptation.

THRESHOLD PACE / TEMPO RUNS

Threshold pace or tempo runs are sustained efforts at a challenging pace, improving lactate threshold and endurance for efficient half marathon pacing.

CROSS-TRAINING
