We recommend two strength and conditioning sessions be included in each week, focusing on runners strength.
1/2MP (Half Marathon Pace) is your estimated pace for the half marathon; for example, if you aim to run the Half Marathon in 2 hours, your 1/2MP is 5:41/km.
You should be able to comfortably run 6km, and running at least three times a week before you start using this training guideline.
Remember, no one training plan can suit all.
To train as effectively as possible, we recommend an individualised training plan.
