79 | How to Train for the Half Marathon

About this episode

The Half Marathon is a special distance.

It's unique from any other road race in that it requires the perfect blend of both speed and endurance to get it right.

There are many runners who can run a strong 5K or 10K, but struggle in the half. They simply lack the endurance to carry their speed for so long.

Like wise, I know plenty of athletes who have run impressive marathons, but their half marathon pace is barely any faster than what they have run for 26.2 miles.

I love the half marathon, because it requires you to be such a well-rounded athlete to run one well.
Do you want to run a great half marathon in the coming year?
