If you want to successfully run a half marathon,
you’re going to need a structured, well balanced and effective half marathon training
program to follow.
Any journey needs a final destination and
a direction to head towards so you can get there safely and in the fastest possible
time.
Just as a
road map provides guidance when you’re setting off on a journey to somewhere you’ve never been
before,a
good half marathon training
program provides the information you need to get
you to your first race safely and quickly.
But all
training programs are not created equal.
Gone are
the days when our schools simply taught children to repeat what they heard without understanding
the reasons behind it. The same is true with sport, health, fitness and weight loss. You stand
much more chance of actually achieving anything if you know what you should be doing and
why.
So here’s
what a good program should
contain: -
-
A structured
progressive running schedule which also tapers
during the last 2 or 3 weeks.
A good
running program
shouldn’t only contain: -
A chart of days, with lists of times
or distances for you to run each day. THIS WILL NOT help you to run a half marathon at
all.
If you want to know more about
training for a half marathon, then my new half marathon running guide
‘Half Marathon Training
For Beginners' is an excellent choice...
You’ll find it a great resource to help you
plan your training but also it's a fantastic reference guide for the times when you
need inspiration and new ideas to make your workouts more interesting.
If you think
you’d be a better runner if you knew...
-
What to eat and
when
-
How, why and
when to train so you get fitter, stronger and more confident
-
What to do
to avoid picking up niggling injuries
-
How to build up to
race day distance in the shortest amount of time
Then you
need ‘Half Marathon Training for Beginners’ – A half marathon training
schedule which gets you results – FAST.
