Mount Runners and Walkers Half Marathon

This week by week guideline is designed to give a basic training structure and help you finish comfortably.

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 5km, and running at least three times a week before you start using this training guideline.
