35 days to go and that's what the website tells http://www.royalparkshalf.com/. Raceday 10-10-2010. Plan- run it in 1 hour 15 minutes. How to get there. Ruuuuuun i assume. Prepare for a half a marathon is wee bit different from a marathon training. According to the experts normally you have to do training runs that includes more than 13 miles. That way on the race day it would be easier. But when it comes to the whole nine yards or the 26 miles; max training run would be say 24miles and guess the last two; you would just go with the flow. Never done 24 miles or a full marathon so best not to take this advice.
Preparation for the half marathon: This is the 40 day program.
Weekly training load - 6days on Friday off. Morning cross training (stationary bike and lots of stretching). Evening running.
If you have Notting Hill carnival where you live. Morning running; evening cross training. (Notting Hill carnival is probably the best lots of people event in this world:-)
17 half marathons distance training runs. All in Hyde Park (London- amazingly beautiful parkland)
So Saturday, Monday and Wednesday half marathon- Here is the course map http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3992144
17 7 mile (6.8 to be exact) recovery runs in between.http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3992165
Half marathons times would be between 1:20 and 1:30 depending on tiredness, rain, wind traffic and other excuses that i can find.
This is the second week in to this program.
