Want to run a half-marathon without sacrificing your in-gym fitness? This program is designed for you!
Over 12 weeks, you’ll gradually and safely increase your mileage from 10 miles per week to 26 miles per week, adhering to the recommended no-more-than-10%-per-week increase. To keep things engaging, the program incorporates a variety of cross-training efforts, ensuring a break from the monotony of running. Each week generally includes one speed/interval session, two long runs, and two strength/conditioning workouts, all culminating in a taper during race week.
With minimal equipment required, this program allows you to maintain strength while effectively complementing your running training. Perfect for anyone looking to strike the ideal balance between endurance and fitness!
