Half Marathon - Sub 2:30

Plan Length: 8 Weeks

This plan was written by Connor Winter who is a 28:21 10K runner. The whole objective of this program is to give you a run/walk plan for a 8 Week. This plan assumes that you have been running for a month previous to starting the plan and is designed to slowly introduce you to running using a run/walk method.

A few IMPORTANT training details:

1. Walking (14:00+ per mile) - Walking pace should be a brisk walk that you can sustain for up to 30 minutes. This will help your body adjust to the impact of running and walking.

2.Easy Running (13:50.19-13:00 per mile) - This should be an easy pace to maintain for an hour of running.

3.Moderate Running (12:30-11:50 per mile) - This pace should be a little more difficult and you should be able to run this pace for 30-45 minutes

4. Race Pace (11:10-10:35 per mile) - This is the pace that should be almost all out and you will be able to sustain this pace on race day.
