Once you've read every word of this special report you'll understand exactly why this is so obviously true, if you can spare me a few minutes of your time now, I'll explain it all to you...

You'll find out the most most common mistakes all new runners make and learn how to avoid making them yourself.

You'll understand the reason why most novice runners, quickly lose interest and never manage to keep going more than 2 weeks in to their program.

You'll discover how using these 'secret' advanced training techniques throughout your half marathon training will transform your fitness and stamina levels in just days never mind weeks. As well as this, these great little strategies will actually reduce the overall time you need to spend training.

And much, much more...

You've Possibly Decided to Start Training To Run a Half Marathon For Any Number of Reasons, Maybe...

You've chosen to enter a half marathon so you can raise money for a charity which is close to your heart, perhaps one that's helped you or someone you love through a difficult time, or maybe...

You're wanting to improve your fitness and stamina levels, but you need a target to aim for, something to work towards that keeps you motivated to stay on track, or...

You've decided that it's time to lose some weight and take control of your health, so you have more energy, feel fitter and gain back some pride in your appearance and body shape, or perhaps...

You just want a hobby and an interest, something that gets you out of the house and gives you the opportunity to meet new people. Running appears to be a good choice because you don't have to learn any new skills, it's free and you can do it anytime!

These Are All Great Reasons For Taking Up Running Because it's an Incredibly Rewarding and Satisfying Process. But You Too Are Also Likely to Face Some of These Challenges...

• You start off determined to run every day, at least that's the plan, but after a couple of weeks, you don't seem to be getting any better and you lose faith in your training. Before you know it you're finding other things to do with your time and your interest in running is rapidly ebbing away. 

• After only a few attempts you start to feel pain in your legs especially around the knees, ankles or feet and this puts you off making plans to do any further runs. So you think it's best to wait until things settle down a bit before you have another go. 

• You manage to get out and run regularly and actually enjoy it, but you just can't seem to keep going for any longer or faster no matter how much effort you put in. 

• You love the thought of being able to run. The fact that you're fitter than most and are taking care of yourself is a wonderful feeling, but when it actually comes down to it there's always something else you find to do other than your training...cleaning, shopping, reading, paperwork...you always manage to find something! 

• Your life is too hectic, it's hard enough to keep on top of all your other day to day tasks let alone spending some time on a new hobby which you expect will take up any spare time you never had! 

• As soon as you set off, you start breathing like a steam engine, your face feels like it's on fire and your legs get so heavy it's as if you're wearing lead boots. 

Does half marathon training really have to be as hard as this?

NO! Is the simple answer to this and over the next few minutes I'll explain why...

There IS a simple solution that you can use immediately to help you navigate a smooth and effortless course through your half marathon training. You'll see virtually overnight changes in your fitness and you'll bypass all the usual problems beginner runners face...

But Firstly, Why Would You Want to Listen to Me and What Do I Know About Training to Run a Half Marathon?

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jago Holmes, CPT, and I'm a fully qualified and experienced personal trainer who has worked with many beginner runners from all walks of life and varying levels of fitness over my long and rewarding 10 year career.

I've personally worked with many of these clients to help them through their half marathon training, taking them from complete beginners right through to accomplishedrunners in an amazingly short amount of time. Together we overcame many hurdles and disappointments and it has been a wonderful learning experience for me.

To help future clients avoid making the same mistakes as the ones I've worked with in the past and to fast track their fitness and stamina levels to new highs, I decided to develop a half marathon training program specifically for beginners.

As far as I'm aware, this is the only one of its kind. A totally unique training guide that's both fast and effective. It teaches beginners exactly how, when, where and what to do so they quickly learn the secrets of being able to run effortlessly for as long as they want to without injury, fatigue or fitness levels holding them back.

I've seen this done the wrong way many times by my own clients, in fact this was how I uncovered many of the training secrets and running tips that you'll find contained within this program. But once you understand how it should be done, your half marathon training and the race itself may well be one of the most rewarding and uplifting experiences of your entire life.

As a Personal Trainer, I Often Work With Clients Who Claim to Lack Motivation and Drive, That's Why They Come to Me For Help...

What They Don't Realise is That the Biggest Thing I Do For Them is Give Them a Direction and a Plan of Action To Follow...It's This That Gets Them Motivated, Not Me!

• If you don't have a direction to move in, how can you possibly arrive at your destination? By using a haphazard approach to your training, it probably just won't get done. You won't see the improvements you were hoping for, your running won't ever feel any easier and you'll quickly lose motivation. 

• With no one to motivate and inspire you with your running or a plan to follow you'll soon lose interest and your new found hobby will be just a thing of the past, something you tried, but that hasn't work for you! 

• At times you'll find a hundred and one things to do instead of your half marathon training. Work to do, the kids are playing up, you feel tired...unfortunately if you give in to these distractions, your workouts simply won't get done and because you aren't being consistent, you won't get any fitter. 

We all know that people enjoy doing things they're good at, but don't like spending time working on things that they aren't. However if you're going to get better at anything, you need to commit the time and effort to it. It's very unlikely that you'll be a natural who can put on a pair of running shoes and run for miles at the first attempt.

...I can't think of anyone I've ever met that had that amount of natural talent!

No, the truth is, YOU WON'T GET BETTER without putting in some time and effort in the first place. Probably not as much as you'd think though as I'll explain later...

The Problem With Most Beginners is They Never Take the Time to Plan Their Half Marathon Training or Set Themselves Targets and Goals.

Meaning They're Less Likely to Stay on Track and More Often Than Not, They Quickly Lose Interest

• Anything that has ever been achieved in life was probably planned and thought out carefully beforehand. If you don't have a half marathon training schedule, a road map to success, then unfortunately you're very unlikely to accomplish your goal of running a half marathon. 

• Perhaps one of the most powerful tools you can use in getting yourself motivated and taking action is to set yourself some goals and targets. Once you've written them down, you'll have made a commitment which is far more likely to be achieved than something that is vaguely floating around in your head. 

• Unfortunately most beginner runners start to lose the desire to run long before they've made any real progress. If they haven't set themselves any targets in the first place, then they have nothing to aspire to, there is no end result in sight. 

You Too Probably Have the Wrong Idea About How Much Time and Effort You'll Need to Spend on Your Training to Run a Half Marathon, You Probably Think There's No Way You Could Spare the Time!

• I'm sure if you've ever tried to run even the shortest of distances, but found it hard work, then you're no doubt thinking that you'll have to commit so much time and effort to getting any better. 

• As you may be aware, it takes the average runner around 2 - 2 ½ hours to complete a half marathon. However this doesn't mean that every time you go out running need to run for this amount of time. You should do some longer runs towards the end of your training, but the majority of your sessions will be as short as possible, so it definitely won't eat up every spare minute of your time! 

• Most people believe that half marathon training will have to take over their life, they'll never get chance to see their friends or watch their favourite TV shows. This is one of main reasons why they don't get started in the first place. 

Unless you're a sport addict and watch it at every opportunity you've probably only ever seen running on TV. The problem with this is it's usually only the big marathons or triathlons that are featured.

The images you'll see of the runners going for hours, create the idea that you too will have to run for miles and miles in preparation for your own race. 

A Very Common Runners Blight is the Picking Up of Niggling Injuries or Aches and Pains.

It Often Seems That it's Something You've Just Got to Put Up With or Give in to and Stop Running Altogether

• Most beginners start their half marathon training under a burst of enthusiasm and passion, they run as often as they can, for as far as they can. However your body doesn't respond well to this type of instant overload and you'll more than likely suffer from tired muscles, aching joints and sore feet. 

• When you first get started it's very usual to begin feeling any old injuries or niggles you once had. This is a real progress stopper and you'll feel extremely demotivated if it does happen to you. 

• How would you manage if you did pick up an injury because of your running. How could you get to work, to the stores, take care of the kids, walk the dog...everyday life would be very difficult!  

If You Just Can't Face the Thought of Being Seen Outside Running Because Your Face Goes Bright Red, You Start to Breathe Heavily and You Look About as Athletic as a Newborn Lamb!

Then Wouldn't it Be a Better Idea to Get Fit First and Shed a Little Weight Before You Got Started?

Theoretically that makes sense, but could that actually work. If you want to get fitter then surely you need start doing some exercise?

And the only way to become a better runner is to actually go out and run, and run regularly.

Now I know nobody likes the thought of being watched whilst exercising, with the sweat pouring down our flushed faces as we trundle along trying to get fitter. But unless you do all of your half marathon training on a treadmill, you're going to be doing some of it outside in the fresh air, especially if you do commit to running a half marathon.

So you're going to have to get used to it!

If You've Ever Tried Running Before, I'll Bet You've Made This Same Mistake Yourself, It's One Of The Most Common Mistakes All New Runners Make...

What still surprises me is when someone decides they're going to start running, they do so without any real thought, planning or preparation. They certainly have no idea what it is they're trying to achieve or how to encourage their body to change so they become fitter.

For example probably the biggest mistake that most new runners make is to set off at the beginning of their run, like a dog out of the traps...way too fast, meaning within a short distance they need to stop because they're too tired and breathless to carry on.

This is one of the worst ways of getting better at running because you'll need to rest after only a short amount of time. Your heart and lungs haven't had the chance to get thoroughly warmed up and can't supply enough oxygen rich blood to the legs in time so you have to stop straight away. Training this way means you'll never build up any endurance.

Because you can't build up the distances you're running, you won't improve your stamina and there's a very high chance you'll become demotivated and lose interest long before you see any real progress.

Instead you should begin your training by walking briskly or jogging very slowly, depending on your level of fitness. Once you can manage this easily, then you should move on to introducing some running in to your sessions.

However you do need structure to your half marathon training otherwise, you'll only end up doing the same things every time and because of this you won't get any better.

If there's just one thing you learn from reading this report that should be this -

'WHATEVER EXERCISE YOU DO, FOR IT TO HAVE THE DESIRED EFFECT, IT ABSOLUTELY MUST BE PROGRESSIVE', this means that your workouts have to constantly change and improve, you need to make small and regular changes to the things you are currently doing, for example you could run a little faster, try to go further or train more often.

Small changes and improvements will do, but there must be changes.

But There's Another Reason Why Most Newbie's Never Make the Progress They Were Hoping For and Give Up Demoralised and Defeated After About 2 Weeks in to Their Half Marathon Training!

And the reason is this...they expect too much.

They have very unrealistic expectations of how long it's going to take them to get fitter and they do too much too soon.

Whilst their motivation is high at the beginning of their half marathon training, they make the mistake of running too often, too fast or far. The reality is that they only need to do a fraction of this to ensure steady and consistent progress.

Because they expect too much too soon, they attempt to force their bodies in to changing far quicker than they are capable of doing, but it rebels by shutting down.

Doing too much can take you in to a overtrained state because you are placing too much stress on your nervous system which just can't cope. As a result of this you'll feel run down, tired and lacking in energy.

The alternative to this is to follow a well balanced half marathon training schedule that gives your training some structure and meaning. Your schedule should allow for at least a days rest in between challenging workouts and you also need to get in to the habit of listening to your body.

If you genuinely feel tired or run down, be mature enough to take a break from your training for a day or so. 

If Your Idea is to Simply Plod Along During Your Half Marathon Training, You'll Take Forever to Get Fitter. But if You Want to Take the Fast Track Route, Hold on to Your Hat, the Changes Will Be Remarkable!

Outdated running coaches may well suggest that you simply need to get out and run, but that is far from what modern day training techniques are all about. These new and advanced approaches to running help your body change much faster, adding exciting and effective ways of improving endurance, speed and stamina in to the mix.

Using these techniques will encourage your body to change quickly, by working for shorter periods but to a slightly higher level of intensity. This means your workouts take less time to do, but you get fitter much faster.

This way of training is so effective for three reasons.

• Firstly it saves you time, you don't have to spend hours and hours a week to get the same results. 

• Secondly it literally explodes your fitness levels to a new high and rapidly boosts strength, endurance and stamina . 

• Thirdly, the fact that you aren't doing too much means you're far less likely to pick up injuries and because your workouts aren't too long, you're not placing the same amounts of repetitive stress on the body or nervous system. 

Basically any changes or different stimulation you can give your body will result in a positive improvement and this is especially true throughout your half marathon training.

But if you want to see the same results you've always seen then keep doing what you've always done. Otherwise shake up your training and give your body a reason to change.

One of the Most Common Questions I Get Asked is - "How Much Training Should I Be Doing and How Many Times a Week Do I Need to Run So I'm Capable of Running a Half Marathon?"

Because no two people have the exact same level of fitness, it's a difficult question to answer. Also some people will have done some running in the past or be more active than others in the first place meaning they're capable of doing more and building up faster. All these factors have a bearing on how quickly you'll progress.

By following a good half marathon training program and sticking to it consistently you can expect to make very good improvements.

Don't overdo your training, because doing too much can be worse than not doing enough in terms of getting fitter, but if you don't do enough training you'll begin to stagnate and lose interest.

My research and experience shows that clients make the fastest improvements in their stamina and endurance levels if they build up to running no more than 3 times a week.

These 3 sessions should all be different and challenge the body in varying and progressive ways.

Structuring your training like this allows sufficient time in between workouts which means that the muscles can repair themselves and the joints given time to rest.

Using this approach also helps to reduce the impact on everyday life because the sessions can be short and effective which allows you to fit them around your everyday tasks.

So is There a Right Way and a Wrong Way of Preparing to Run a Half Marathon and is There Anything You Can Do to Make it Easier and Quicker?

The answer to this question is both yes and no!

Yes there are plenty of running schedules that you can download for free from most of the popular running and charity websites which will plot your half marathon training by the day or week.

Unfortunately these schedules really aren't worth the time it takes to download them because all they are is simply a list of distances in miles or kilometers or an amount of time you need to run for each day. They will occasionally contain a few vague running tips, but they won't explain the real nuts and bolts of how to improve your fitness or the theory behind what you're trying to achieve.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you need to know enough to be able to write a book on the subject, but you really do need to understand the basics of how your body changes and adapts throughout the course of your training.

Knowing this helps you to plot a safe and steady path through your workouts which means you're less likely to suffer injury, lack of progress or the loss of enthusiasm and motivation for your chosen sport.

"When I first started running, every step was hard work. The mere thought of going out for a run filled me with dread.  The techniques I've learnt from Jago's half marathon training schedule have been invaluable. I have gone from barely able to run a few metres to being able to run over 3 miles (5K) easily. I now run regularly and am currently training towards phase 2 - my first 10k." Ruth

The Giveaway Half Marathon Training Schedules You Can Get From Most Running and Charity Websites Will Teach You Absolutely Nothing About How to Run or Improve Your Fitness So That You're Capable of Running a Half Marathon.

Unfortunately They're Not Only Free, But Also Virtually Useless!

Because when you download one of them...

You Won't Find Out about how to choose the best running shoes to suit the way you run. This means you'll be wearing footwear that doesn't support your feet correctly meaning there's real chances of long term injury.

 

 

You Won't Find Out about how to spot the tell tale signs of injuries and niggles so you can sidestep them totally. You won't know which niggles are potentially serious or just aches and pains you can run through.

 

 

You Won't Find Out how hard your training should feel if you want to see fast progress with your running. Because of this you might never get any better or any changes you do see may be very slow or non existent.

 

 

You Won't Find Out about how to use the latest up to date training techniques which will turbo charge your fitness and stamina at the same time as actually requiring you to train less.

 

 

You Won't Find Out about which muscles need to be stretched or when and how to do it, meaning your muscles could start to tighten up permanently leading to serious back and postural problems.

 

 

You Won't Find Out about preparing for race day and actually running your first half marathon, which means you won't have a clue what to expect on the day of the race.

 

 

You Won't Find Out how to write motivating goals which keep you focused and on track through your half marathon training so you'll struggle to keep going when you face any challenges that come along.

 

 

You Won't Find Out how to eat the right types of foods which help to improve stamina and promote recovery between workouts so your training won't be as effective as it could be and you may feel drained and run down.

 

 

You Won't Find Out about the importance of fluids to your body and what and how much to drink so you can boost your energy levels and speed up the time it takes your body to recover in between your runs.

 

 

You Won't Find Out how to program and condition your mind so when your half marathon training gets harder, you don't want to give in, you just rise to the challenge and push through it to reach new levels of fitness.

 

No it's Fair to Say You Won't Learn How to Run From a FREE, 'One Size Fits All' Half Marathon Training Schedule That Simply Contains a Chart of Distances or Times to Run Each Day!

 But Heck, Go Ahead and Download a Copy Anyway, it Won't Cost You a Cent.

I know from the experience I've had with my own clients that have tried following one of these giveaway half marathon training programs that THEY DO NOT WORK. They're too simplistic, it's like teaching someone to do a magic trick by simply showing them the trick itself without the actual technique used to perform the trick. 

You really need to do one of two things...

If you can, arrange to work with a qualified and experienced personal trainer, an expensive option I know, but the knowledge and motivation you'll gain will be well worth the investment.

Alternatively, get hold of a really good quality half marathon training schedule that provides you with all the information you need to be able to set yourself goals and targets, design your own routines and a selection of 'ideal routines that you can work through which will take you to your ultimate destination...running a half marathon.

Unfortunately, unless you live nearby, it's unlikely that I can assist you with the one to one training.

But I Do Have the Opportunity to Help You on the Second Point...

I've created a do it yourself half marathon training program specifically for beginners, which I've bundled together with some great bonuses that you can have instant access to by following the instructions that I'll give you later on.

There is a charge for my training program, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how little that is, especially considering all the extras you'll be getting.

But I'll come to that in a minute.

For the moment, I'd like to tell you what my program is and how it can help you to become not only a better runner, but also a very accomplished one...

Writing this program has taken me nearly 12 months to complete. But when you also consider that the knowledge and techniques inside have been an accumulation of my last 10 years as a respected and successful personal trainer, you'll understand why I am so proud of this system and confident in what it can do for you.

I thoroughly understand the problems and difficulties beginners face when starting out, from the experiences of my one to one clients who've begun a half marathon training plan on their own, but lost their way and ended up calling me to help them out...

And this was probably one of the biggest reasons for my writing and publishing...

...'Half Marathon Training For Beginners!'

Successfully and comfortably run a half marathon at the end of your training, you'll have accomplished something that most people could only dream of doing.

Radically improve your health. Keep up with your training and you'll have more energy, be thinner, happier and live longer, you'll just feel great most of the time.

You can take it for a full 60 days 'test drive' if you like so you have enough time to try the programs and see if you don't make the progress I know you'll make. Just try these advanced training techniques before you make any decision. If you aren't fitter, stronger and more confident in your running then let me know and I'll happily sort you out a refund.

How to steer clear of 'overtraining.' Because of the way I've designed this program, the chances of you overtraining are virtually non existent. You'll learn what the signs of it are way before it affects you and puts a halt to your training.

The 3 very different phases of half marathon training that you need to complete in order to take you to your ultimate goal. I've broken your training down in to small, manageable, bite size chunks so it doesn't feel like a huge mountain to climb.

Some great time saving tips that make the best of your workouts allowing you to get more from your training without disrupting everything else in your life so you do have the time to do it!

How to conquer the fear of failure, by preparing your mind so you can see yourself running a half marathon long before you can physically do it.

The reason why setting yourself goals and targets is so important and why you'll improve not only your running but every other aspect of your life if you start doing this one simple thing. I'll show you exactly how to write goals that inspire and motivate you.

How getting the foundations of fitness right from the start can make the rest of your running towards a half marathon a breeze. Simply follow the easy training schedules so you reach race day full of energy, confidence and excitement about the challenge ahead.

With a flexible half marathon training schedule to follow, you'll make constant and regular progress. You'll know how to make changes to what you're doing so you can plot a smooth course around life's events, meaning you'll stay focussed instead of quitting the first time you're faced with any challenges.

The most effective and safest ways to increase the distances you can run, so you build up your stamina gradually without risking injury or having to juggle other everyday responsibilities.

At this point I guess you might be thinking...

If 'Half Marathon Training For Beginners' is so great and can teach me all this, how come I've never heard of some of this stuff before?

There Are in Fact 3 Very Good Reasons For This: -

REASON #1   Sports science is continually developing and pushing the boundries further and further, allowing us to make more efficient use of our training time yet still getting faster, fitter and stronger. This half marathon training program contains THE latest up to date training advice for taking runners from beginners to half marathon runners in rapid time, most of this knowledge simply wasn't available of a few years ago!

REASON #2   Full time athletes, use these techniques to speed up their progress so they don't get widely reported...but they have all the time in the world to train and only one thing on their mind...running.   Now you can go down that route, where you become completely absorbed and obsessed with your training, to the point where not much else matters to you other than running and my system will provide you with everything you need to be able to do this.    But for most people, the techniques you'll discover, enable you to quickly build up your strength and endurance so you are capable of going from beginner to accomplished runner without sacrificing every other aspect of your life in order to do so.

REASON #3    So few people ever run a half marathon and the demand for this type of half marathon training schedule is not huge, it really isn't financially viable for most experts to devote the time and effort it takes to sit down and put this type of knowledge in to writing, believe me this has taken months to research and create.   But I am different, this is my job and my life's passion.   I get a tremendous amount of enjoyment from teaching and coaching people to achieve their ambitions, but I also love writing about the things I have learnt during my long and successful career. So to be honest with you, whether this is profitable or not really doesn't hold much interest to me...I just want to share my knowledge and help people get up off the couch to running a half marathon and ultimately succeed in reaching their goals!

But wait a second, I'm not quite finished yet with what else you'll learn inside 'Half Marathon Training For Beginners', I still have more to tell you because I've barely scratched the surface of the training insights and running tips you're about to discover.

I couldn't promise real results for training to run a half marathon without addressing these important points....

So here's just a few more golden nuggets of information you'll learn once you've downloaded these manuals to your own computer...

How your body changes and adapts depending on the challenges you present it with. You'll also discover why some ways of training (that most people follow) won't turn you in to runner, instead you're more likely to quickly stagnate and lose interest altogether.

How to treat some of the most common running injuries, so you're able to react quickly and minimise the damage caused by a slip, fall or muscle tear. You'll know exactly what to do, to get yourself up and running in the fastest time possible.

An alternative stretching sequence that you can do at home which ensures that your muscles are as flexible as possible so you avoid injuries caused by an imbalance in muscle tension. This one also saves you time.

How to avoid suffering from the most common foot problems runners complain of and how to fix this problem if you are affected so your progress isn't compromised, meaning you're able to keep training and getting better.

How to monitor the level of difficulty that you're working at so you know what you are doing will be beneficial and why training at a certain level of difficulty is guaranteed to supercharge your progress, at the same time as cutting down dramatically on training time.

What to eat on race day and when to eat it so you aren't faced with the problem of a dodgy tummy which can really jeopardise your enjoyment of the day or worse case scenario, even stop you from completing the race.

Exactly why, when and what to expect on race day so that you're completely prepared and ready for what lies ahead, instead of stressed and nervous because you're not really sure of what's going to happen.

How to create your own, safe and effective running schedules that fit around your lifestyle. You'll be able to create a tailored routine to fit around your normal commitments so the rest of your life isn't affected just because you've got a new interest!

I think I'll have to stop there otherwise I'm going to be writing for days, but I think that gives you a taste of what I've covered in 'Half Marathon Training For Beginners.' In reality, I've only scratched the surface of what you'll actually learn inside these unique training guides.

Once you've armed yourself with the knowledge and training insights you'll find within these running manuals, you really do have an massively unfair advantage over runners who make the decision to train for a half marathon, but choose to 'go it alone'.

So How Much Will All This Cost? 

Don't worry, not as much as you might think...in fact I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

If I worked personally with you as a one to one client for an hour, just twice a week for the next 5 months at my normal hourly rate of $60.00 per hour, the cost of this would be well over $2,400.00.

The truth is that any of my clients that want to get better at running WILL use this half marathon training schedule at some point or another.

If you did approach me to train you exclusively for two sessions a week and teach you everything that you'll learn inside the 'Half Marathon Training For Beginners' training plan it would actually cost you well over $2,400.00 in personal training fees...the very same program you can have instant access to right now and for a tiny fraction of this cost.

I originally designed this half marathon training system as a printed set of training manuals, which was going to include shipping and telephone support all for a cost of $149.99.

However, even though this would still have cost you far less than the amount you'd have to pay to work with me or any other qualified personal trainer, I felt that too high a price just wouldn't be within the means of most would be half marathon runners.

This program has evolved over the last ten years of my personal training career and has taken me the last 12 months to put it on to paper, but I do understand that something like this has absolutely got to be within most peoples budget...

So Here's What I Decided To Do… 

Because I see shipping, printing and phone support as a big drain on my time - I'd prefer to be out there training clients, I decided to offer 'Half Marathon Training For Beginners' at a vastly reduced rate of just $79.50 $37.99, but as a downloadable eBook package instead.

This means it doesn't cost me anything to produce, but more importantly, you can have instant access to it and can literally be reading it within 5 minutes from now!

You Pay Just $79.50 $37.99 For All This

I think I ought to just quickly mention that this system isn't for sale anywhere else - it's not in bookstores, nor is it sold on TV. This is the only place that you can get hold of this half marathon training schedule right now.

I know there's been quite a bit to take in here, so please allow me to summarize exactly what it is you'll get when you place your order today - 

Throughout your half marathon training, how much time and energy are you going to commit, how much would it cost you to work with a personal trainer even for just one session a week...literally hundreds and hundreds of dollars...

But my half marathon trainingschedule will cost you less than one personal training session...less than a cheap night out...less than a couple of bottles of wine...

'Half Marathon Training For Beginners' Will Actually Pay For Itself...After Just One Session

Reason #2

THIS SYSTEM WORKS...that's a fact. I've based it on the 10 years of experience I've had working with runners of all shapes and sizes and differing fitness levels. The principles you'll learn inside these manuals really do hold the key to improving your ability to run further, faster and for longer.

I know that once you've read the manuals, you'll be staggered by the amount of knowledge and insider secrets, training tips and advice that you'll learn. This is why I'm so happy to offer such an incredibly open, honest and risk free money back guarantee.

The way this offer is structured, you can actually test it out for free. If you don't improve your ability to run DRAMATICALLY by following this half marathon training program, you can ask for your money back. But I can tell you this, the secrets and techniques you'll learn will definitely change the way you approach running forever!

But enough of me, you must decide for yourself...

I'd really like the chance to help guide you safely through your half marathon training, so that you have the knowledge, fitness and confidence to run your first 13.1 mile race very soon.
