How to Train for a Half Marathon

You've made the mental commitment to training for a half marathon, you're prepared to do the physical training, but there's a vital intermediate step, and that's getting yourself trained as your own "coach". Short of having your own personal trainer, how else are you going to know exactly when to increase your pace, back off, take the right amount of rest, not to mention getting all of the other factors involved right?

You can't simply train off of a generic chart. Everyone is different, and the most important keys to success in training for a half marathon are knowing the signs in yourself that tell you exactly what to do next. Certified Personal Trainer Jago Holmes has developed a safe and effective system for beginners that can take you all the way to the finish line.

Just get out there and run run run, right? Wrong! The fact is, you need to have a basic understanding of marathon training to succeed. For instance, footwear is absolutely crucial to staying injury-free. The food you eat and when you eat it is going to have a huge bearing on your success as well.

You need to learn the signs of over-training which leads to fatigue, as well as the signs of under-training, in which you will not see enough of an increase in your fitness, which can be incredibly frustrating. But successfully following a solid marathon training program can wind up being one of the most rewarding things you accomplish in your life, no matter what your age.
