Half Marathon Training plans

asked 5 months ago | Report

Hi all. New to DM. In August, I plan to do the Disneyland half marathon for the 2nd time. Last time I did it in 1:58. This time around I want to do it in 1:50. Currently, I'm using Runner's World as a reference. Anyone else got any good plans. Oh...and friend me all. It's just me and another friend. I want to get some insight from other runners. Bye all.

  I'm using Hal Higdon's Intermediate HM plan again, www.halhigdon.com. Used it for my HM last March where I broke 2 hours for the 1st time. Many people swear by Hal. FR sent, too.

  Welcome to DM! I wrote my own training plan for my last half marathon and ended up running 1:46. Here's what a typical week looked like:

  Monday: 6 miles easy; strength training
  Tuesday: 8 miles speedwork (Intervals or Tempo)
  Wednesday: 6 miles easy; strength training
  Thursday: 6 miles hillwork; 1 hour boot camp class
  Friday: Off
  Saturday: 10-15 miles easy
  Sunday: Off

  During my training cycle, I ran overdistance three times, which I think really helped my time and allowed me to run faster on race day.

  Hope this helps!
