Half Marathon Training 2012-2013

Now that rugby season is over, I've decided to get back on track with some endurance sports training. I've selected the Wickedly Fast Half Marathon in mid-April. It's close to home, in Olathe, and gives me enough time to build up from nothing. I haven't been running at all, so this training plan is designed to take me from 0 to 13.1 in about 20 weeks. If you'd like to join me in training, I've posted my minimalist training plan below. The program is designed around a tempo run, fartlek run, and long run, with cross training on off days. It's not a very scientific training plan, but it will work for me, and you're welcome to join!

My training will begin the week after Thanksgiving, on Tuesday, November 27. Leave a comment or e-mail me if you'd like to train with me!
