Half marathon training

[WelshJojo]

Morning, hope your migraine passes quickly Shazzabir and that the new trainers help the knee pain.

I finally found a decent half marathon app for the phone and started training yesterday! I haven't finished the B210k app and I've started the half marathon one a few weeks in, about where I was with the 10k app so all is good

Which half marathon app are you using? I've found one which is the same format as my c25k and b210k so thinking I'll use that one x

I think its Hal Higdon, it is a similar format to the B210K which is why I liked it.

Yeah that's the one I got-going to finish b210k, am only on wk1, and then it tells me to start on the 19th of December so not really sure what to do in the few weeks in between-maybe just work on building up the pace over the 10k distance!! Oooh it's all very exciting

If I had put in the date of Silverstone I shouldn't have started mine until tge New Year. I just adjusted the date so I could continue with it now. Just as well really as I've had to rest this week!

Omg that's phenomenal
Slightly off topic I know, but have just looked at your before/after pics Summergurl-and just wanted to say how motivational they are. Well done. If I look half as good as that when I get to target, I'll be a happy Jojo xx

Thanks chick!

Might have to look up the 1/2 marathon app you guys are on about. I'll have 26weeks to do my marathon training and I want to be able to knock off 10mins05seconds off my previous time!

Well all the long runs are on a Sunday-but as it's the first Sunday, it's only 4miles x

You don't have to do them on a Sunday. I never did. Always did mine on a Tuesday. Just remember to have atleast a week in between them

I tend to have to do it when it says too! I'm going to be on my own on Christmas morning so it won't bother me going for a run.

 

[biggysmalls]

Christmas Day running could be quite nice actually.....work up an appetite and all that!

Tonight I did my fast/intervals run - I never thought I'd see the day when i would say this but.....I loved it!

Also, only doing 30 minutes is a real treat now. It's over in a flash.

 

[summergurl]

What are you doing for your intervals chick?x
