Spring Half Marthon Training Plan
I was originally planning on running the Zooma Austin Half Marathon this year but found out about the Angie’s Half Crazy! Half marathon and decided to do that instead. One of my twitter and Daily Mile pals recommended it and I thought it would be fun to run it and spend the weekend in Houston with the family. The course is a loop and really flat so I am going to try for a PR which means running something close to a 1:40 half marathon which seems kind of crazy to me. I have a hard time thinking I can run that fast but I did run a 1:43:32 at the 3M so I should be able to run something close to my goal with smart training and if the weather isn’t crazy hot. I chose to go with the Hal Higdon advanced half marathon training program for training, I tweaked it a bit to allow for 2 non running days if I choose and went with mileage instead of time for the long runs because that works better for me. Here it is:
I will be started my training tomorrow. I may add in a 5K or 10K in the schedule if anything catches my fancy. After this race I plan on taking it easy the rest of the spring and the beginning of summer then I will start training for my fall marathon. I am hoping by then I will be able to run a 3:40 and qualify for Boston.
