Hi Running Friends!
Today we are talking about incorporating different running workouts into your training. My goal to run a sub 2-hour half-marathon was realized once I added a variety of new “runs” like tempo’s, intervals and hill repeats.

The Half-Marathon Plan I used to run under 2 hours
Runners World Training Pace Calculator
Workout Shorthand Example:
1 mile warm up/6x800m @ 5k pace with 2 min. recovery/10 min. cool down-
Translation- run 1 mile (or walk) to warm up, run 800 meters at your 5k pace (use the calculator), walk for 2 minutes and do the run and the recovery 5 more times. Then walk or jog slowly for 10 minutes to cool down.
