Hi {!firstname}
I’ve got some great news, I've
partnered with Jago Holmes to bring you - “Seven Steps to Training for a Half Marathon”!
which is a series of training tips about training to run a half
marathon.
Jago Holmes CPT, is a
fully qualified and experienced personal trainer who has worked with hundreds of
runners over the last 10 years.
Jago has personally helped
these runners work through their half marathon training schedule and on to their
final and ultimate goal of entering and completing their first ever half
marathon.
Let’s get started
with Step One entitled:
“Health and Injury
Check”
Prior to starting any type of activity or training regime, I
strongly advise getting a check up from your doctor. There could be some
hidden health problems that you aren’t aware of that can affect your ability to run
or could be made worse by running.
Any troublesome injuries or
long term joint pain also needs to be looked at, so it could be worth booking in to
see a physiotherapist before starting.
You’ll need at least 1 decent
pair of running shoes, ideally chosen for you by specialist store staff that have
access to step analysis software. This is usually available at the larger running
stores.
For you to completely
understand the way your body should respond to exercise and more essentially how
that exercise should be structured as well as finding out how to spot the signs of
overtraining and fuelling your body to attain the best results, it’s essential that
you learn all you can about the subject – the half marathon.
One final tip is that you're
more than likely going to run in all weather conditions and temperatures and so are
going to require the right types clothing. Items such as waterproofs, thermal
underwear and running socks are all things that will enrich your experience and
make running far more enjoyable.
Well that
above covers it for Step One. Stay tuned for Step Two where you’ll learn about
“Planning and Goal Setting”, an important part of preparing for a half
marathon.

Hi {!firstname}
Glad to see you’re back for
Step Two of the Seven Steps to Training for a Half Marathon - Planning and Goal
Setting!
Ok time
out! First of
all you deserve a break today. You’re tackling an important topic and probably
juggling situations on your end. So, take a quick time out to relax while you go
through today’s lesson.
Grab some coffee or a nice
cold soda… whatever your favorite drink... and let’s dig in with more information
from Jago Holmes on running a half marathon with Step Two below
entitled:
Planning and Goal
Setting
Every journey starts with just
one small step. It’s
how you go about taking that step that is the important
part. Goals give us a direction to head out in and take
action. One of the most important steps in this process is to
actually write your half marathon training goals down. Your brain
needs targets to aim for; this is how we are conditioned to
succeed.
Most people simply have vague
dreams and desires that they will probably never achieve. If we don’t set definite goals we will
simply end up in a place dictated to us by chance. A goal that
excites, challenges or inspires you is one that you are most likely to go on to
achieve.
Running a half marathon is a
great goal to have, but it’s a big undertaking and something that requires more
than a quick off the cuff decision to run one. You’ll need to be determined and
mentally strong as well as physically fit. Setting yourself some structured
short and long term goals will help you to get through the harder
times.
It’s important to get
emotionally connected to the feelings that achieving your goal will give you such
as a feeling of success or accomplishment. We need to program our
subconscious mind to strive towards achieving this goal and by giving your
goals emotional triggers that we associate pain, unhappiness, pleasure and
accomplishment with, we can do this.
You should sit down and write
a list of goals culminating in your ultimate goal, in our case completing your
first half marathon. You also need a series of process goals which are broken down
in to smaller chunks that you tick off along the way. This is an incredibly
rewarding and motivating process to go through which should motivate you on to
successfully running your first half marathon.
Well that about covers it for
Step Two. Stay tuned for Step Three where you’ll learn about 'Half Marathon Training Schedules,' another important
part of preparing for a half marathon.
By the way,
Jago Holmes has authored a fantastic book titled; “Half Marathon Training for
Beginners”. It's
a complete guide covering everything you need to do to start and finish your
first half marathon.

P.S. One of
the ways I decide if a product is good or not is what do previous customers have to
say about it. Here’s
a testimonial from just one of Jago Holmes' satisfied customers:
I have been
amazed at how quickly my fitness has improved over the last eleven weeks... I
would never have believed at the start of the programme that I would be capable of
going out pounding the streets - I would have presumed that this was a completely
unfeasible and unrealistic expectation. "

Hi {!firstname}
Glad to see
you’re you’re back for
Step Three of the Seven Steps to Training for a Half Marathon –
The Half Marathon Training
Schedule!
Grab some coffee or a nice
cold soda… whatever your favorite drink... and let’s dig in with more information
from Jago Holmes on running a half marathon with Step Three below,
entitled:
Half Marathon Training
Schedule
Any half marathon training
schedule worth reading should include all the following information...
Nutritional advice including
menus, snacks and foods that will help boost energy levels allowing you to run
further and faster.
New half marathon training
practices, not simply a list of miles or times to run each day. Modern half
marathon training techniques have progressed significantly. Overusing the same
muscles and joints using outdated training techniques places too much stress on the
body.
Using advanced strategies as
shown in my new guide – ‘Half Marathon Training
For Beginners’ will quickly boost fitness levels and reduce the time
spent pounding the streets.
How to select the correct
clothing and running shoes.
Strategically placed rest days
that account for the intensity of the previous days training.
But above all, an effective
training schedule should teach you exactly how your body changes from the start of
your training right up to race day. This way you’ll understand exactly when and how
to change your training to boost your progress, quickly spot the signs of
overtraining and sidestep debilitating injuries.
Well that above covers it for
Step Three. Stay tuned for Step Four where you’ll learn about
'Running Shoes,' another
important part of preparing for a half marathon.

Here’s another testimonial from one of Jago
Holmes’ satisfied customers:
My initial aim was to just
improve my fitness. Twelve weeks later my fitness had improved past any of my
expectations and I completed my first half half marathon with
ease. I have lost weight, toned up and
learnt so much regarding exercise and diet... the fitter I have become, the
fitter I want to be and the more I enjoy setting myself goals and achieving
them."

Hi {!firstname}
Glad to see you’re back for
Step Four of the Seven Steps to Training for a Half Marathon –
Running Shoes!
Grab some coffee or a nice
cold soda… whatever your favorite drink... and let’s dig in with more information
from Jago Holmes on running a half marathon with Step Four below,
entitled:
Running Shoes
I’d always recommend you visit
a specialist running shop to get an expert assessment because they’ll be able to
advise you which type of shoe suits your particular running style.
Try on new shoes later in the
day when your feet have swollen to their full size and take the socks you normally
run with you.
The shoes need to mould to the
shape of your feet so they need to be a snug fit at the sides and across the top.
Good running shoes tend to very light weight whilst also offering the maximum
amount of support for your foot and gait type.
Make sure the shoe you choose
fits properly, with no movement or slippage at the heel and check that your toes
are not crushed into the toe box at the front of the shoe. Bear in mind that the foot will expand
when running longer distances, so you might need a shoe size a little
bigger.
You should allow half an inch
or a thumb width of room from the front of your running shoe to the end of the
longest toe. The reason for this is that the foot expands when running long
distances (i.e. anything over a couple of miles) and this extra room in the toe box
helps avoid painful sore toes or nasty black toenails.
Well that above covers it for
Step Four. Stay tuned for Step Four where you’ll learn about the
'Training Log,' another important
part of preparing for a half marathon.
By the way,
Jago Holmes has authored a fantastic book titled; 'Half Marathon Training for
Beginners.' It's
a complete guide covering everything you need to do to start and complete your
first half marathon.

P.S. Here’s
another testimonial from one of Jago Holmes’ satisfied customers:
"Twelve
weeks ago I was a couch potato, middle age spread, unfit and overweight. My aim was
to just improve my knowledge about diet and fitness. (I could run about 100 meters
without stopping!). I have lost over a stone in weight and can run four miles in a
session and am increasing my distance and speed weekly. I have entered 'The Great
North Run' in September, running from 100 meters to 13 miles in six months I could
not have dreamt of this twelve weeks ago. My improved diet and fitness have become
a way of life. At the end of the day it is down to the individual who has to do the
hard work. When you are out training in the wind and rain, it is very easy to cut a
session short by a couple of minutes, not a good idea.
I will
always be grateful to Jago for helping me through this lifestyle change. It is
now up to me to keep it up." John -

Hi {!firstname}
Glad to see you’re back
for Step Five of the
Seven Steps to Training for a Half Marathon – Your Training Log!
Grab some coffee or a nice
cold soda… whatever your favorite drink... and let’s dig in with more information
from Jago Holmes on running a half marathon with Step Five below,
entitled:
Your Training
Log
Another motivational tool that
every 'would be' half marathon runner should have is a training log. This can be
written on a spreadsheet, a diary or notebook. It doesn’t really matter. What
matters is that you keep a record of what you’ve done and what you’re planning to
do.
That which gets written and
recorded, gets done!
In your training log, you’ll
record every aspect of your training from the date and time of day you do your
training runs right through to the way your training session felt.
If you really want to go in to
detail, you can include things like: -
- Your pre training
meal
- The route you
took
- What you
wore
- Whether you felt any aches
or pains
- The
weather
If you wear a heart-rate
monitor, record your average and max heart rate for your run.
There are a number of benefits
to recording your workouts, but perhaps the most relevant one is to chart your
progress because this will help you to stay motivated, focussed and on track. It
allows you to see how far you’ve come and how far you’ve got to go.
Well that above covers it for
Step Five. Stay tuned for Step Six where Jago shares his 'Training Advice,' another important part of preparing
for a half marathon.

Hi {!firstname}
Glad to see you’re back for
Step Six of the Seven Steps to Training for a Half Marathon – Training Advice!
Grab some coffee or a nice
cold soda… whatever your favorite drink... and let’s dig in with more information
from Jago Holmes on running a half marathon with Step Six below,
entitled:
Training Advice
Practically anyone who is able
bodied and in good health has the potential to run. But to go that step further and
become good enough to run a half marathon, means you need to train regularly and
make steady and constant progress.
But be WARNED, you won't be
able to complete a half marathon if you don’t have a structured training regime. To
make progress you absolutely must implement these 4 strategies: -
Train Smart
Yes, you're training to run a
half marathon and that needs a certain amount of slow steady running each week. But
simply sticking to this type of running is a mistake because it places too much
stress on your joints and nervous system, and any fitness improvements will be very
slow.
Change Your
Workouts
To improve your ability to run
longer distances, you must develop stamina in your legs and your heart and lungs,
so take part in other sports and activities that also provide these improvements
such as swimming, cycling or rowing.
Progress
Steadily
Every week you need to make
sure that your workouts gets gradually more challenging, with small but steady
improvements.
Don’t disregard rest days,
they are almost as significant as your running days.
Well that above covers it for
Step Six. Stay tuned for Step Seven our last step where Jago shares his
'Race Day Tips,' another important part
of preparing for a half marathon.

testimonial from one of Jago Holmes’ satisfied customers...
"Wow Jago, just had to drop
you a few lines to say how impressed I am with your half marathon training
program. I found it great to read, clear and easy to understand and I have
learnt more than I thought possible from it. I think I should just give you
little background about me first. I have never exercised throughout my life,
let alone run, so I think it was quite a surprise to most people when I decided
that I would take up running. I have read and used the techniques outlined in your manual and
in just a few short months I completed my first ever half marathon, from a complete
and absolute beginners starting point. The amazing feeling of accomplishment I felt when I had finished
was incredible and I am now keen to get back to training for the next
phase. Thanks

Hi {!firstname}
Glad to see you’re back for our last Step
Seven of the Seven Steps to Training for a Half Marathon –
Race Day Tips!
Grab some coffee or a nice cold soda…
whatever your favorite drink... and let’s dig in with some more information
from Jago Holmes on running a half marathon with Step Seven below,
entitled:
Race Day Tips
Tip #1
Don’t set off too fast. The
atmosphere and excitement of the starting line usually leads to running the first
mile under a burst of adrenaline, much faster than you would normally run. This is
a mistake because it will take its toll on your energy reserves especially in the
latter stages of the race.
Tip #2
Never wear in a new pair of
running shoes on race day. This should be done weeks before. New shoes can take
many miles to get comfortable in and really mould to shape of your feet.
Tip #3
Don’t eat anything in the 2
hours before the start of the race. When you run, blood is diverted to the working
muscles away from your stomach and digestive system which is then unable to break
food down. This leads to nausea and stomach cramping which will severely hamper
your race.
Tip #4
Drink plenty of water. That
doesn’t mean slurping down gallons of the stuff, just regular sips to maintain
normal hydration levels.
Tip #5
Don’t be competitive with
others. It can be quite depressing to watch a seemingly out of shape runner pass
you by, but don’t try to keep up with them as this is a dangerous practice. They’ll
almost certainly run at a pace that is right for them, you have your own pace. A
half marathon isn’t the time to let pride take over your judgement or common
sense
Well that above covers it for
our last Step of the Seven Steps to Training for a Half Marathon.
