A 12-WEEK half-marathon training programme has been designed to prepare runners to finish by running the entire distance.
It is not intended to train for a fast race or to improve speed and anyone contemplating this schedule should be able to run comfortably for three miles.
The schedule for week one half-marathon training is as follows: Tuesday – three miles hard run; Thursday – four miles quality run; Saturday – four miles easy run; and Sunday – six miles long run.
