Half Marathon Training Program

Bit of a switch to your schedule this week as you focus on the run end of the week… Change your social calendar and baby sitting arrangements to keep Monday and Wednesday some time to run 🙂

We are now looking down to a coutdown in DAYS 🙂 This week you start to slow down and let your body recover and gain strength. Try to keep slow and steady and avoid any muscle pulls or strains at ALL costs!

Now that you have your pace sorted out and you KNOW you can run the long haul 🙂 we will change to building some strength and speed with a power training mid week.

This week you stretch to your LONGEST run before running the real race on 22nd July 2017 with a 1hr 45mins easy running on Saturday! Start early morning after some breakfast, and feel free to take regular walk break if you need to, just “keep on swimming, er moving !“

This week we hope you are now getting a comfortable rhythm and cadence  and “in the groove” so now we stretch that time out and start to train for some speed and power as well.

This week you should be hitting your first long 1 HOUR run which will need you to drink some water along the way for SURE🙂 with  weeks of Half Marathon Training to go 🙂 You should not be running this kind of time in our Suva Fiji heat without taking on water and/or sugar…

This week you should be hitting your first long run at 50mins 🙂 with 8 weeks of Half Marathon Training to go 🙂 This is about maximum you should be doing in “one shot” without taking on water and/or sugar…

Well, if you are on track, this should all be getting easier 🙂 with 9 weeks of Half Marathon Training to go 🙂
