Advanced Half Marathon Training Guide
All right you are ready to kick your running in to high gear. Welcome to the Advanced Half Marathon Training Guide. You will be pushed even more than your were in the Intermediate Half Marathon Training Guide. You will average anywhere from 35-50 miles a week with this routine.
It?s expected that you are a seasoned runner, having completed a half marathon or even a full marathon. You must have run 35 miles a week consistently for the past 6 months.
The Training Workouts
The training workouts we will be using greatly mirror those in the Intermediate Training. We will be using the same Pace Intervals (PI), Speed Intervals (SI), and Cruise Intervals (CI). You can check out the details for these at the Intermediate Half Marathon Training Guide.
We will be adding some quality training to your longer runs. We have also noted specific recovery intervals for your training purposes (found in parenthesis). You will notice that some are shorter than others. These will help you work on maintaining pace while tired. Make sure to take a nice long recovery jog after each of these short sets.
On your long runs you should mix in either some fartlek running as well as some fast finish running. This means you should try to run the last 15 minutes of your run at your 10K pace. This way you will be prepared to push hard at the end during you race. You can even mix in some hill running too.
The Training Schedule
I?m sure you know by now how to prepare on race day. If not, you can check out the Intermediate Half Marathon Training Guide.
Good luck!
