I’m mixing things up a little for the Callaway Gardens half. I’ve tried different plans for several weeks, and none work just right for me. So I took my five favorites and combined them to make my own. That’s professional, right? I took into consideration the number of miles I wanted to run each week leading up to the marathon, as well as the number of days that I could run.
I also have been running consistently for several months now, so I would only recommend borrowing my plan if you are a semi-advanced runner yourself. My weekly mileage leading up to this has been between 25-30 miles each week. If you are a beginning runner, you will need MUCH more than 6 weeks to train for a half.
So after all that, and after LOTS of brain-work, here is MY personal, half marathon plan:
The note at the bottom, in case you can’t see it, reminds you that I am NOT a certified running coach. This plan was developed BY me, FOR me–If you choose to “borrow” it, I am in no way responsible for an injuries you may (but hopefully won’t) incur. <—And that’s just the disclaimer that I feel needed to be added so that I am being responsible.
I think it will help my training that my plan is so pretty. Don’t you? And I will definitely be using my bright, colorful pens to check off each workout as I do it. That’s half the fun, right?
I’m interested, what running plan do you use?
Happy Running! 🙂
