Training
This page contains information on training for a half marathon. Check out the description below on each level. Then click on the link for the training schedule for that level.
Level 1 - This level
is for those who run mainly to keep fit and who can't allow
a lot of time for it. They normally run for 20 to 30 minutes,
three or four times a week. Going up to over three hours
a week would be a big effort, but something which they
could maintain for a limited period, with something big
to aim for.

Level 2 - Is designed
for the club runner who runs on two or three weekdays and
at week-ends. This entails four to five hours of training
a week, which translates into 35-40 miles. All 'quality'
sessions, such as intervals, should be preceded by 10 minutes
easy running, plus stretching, and followed by 5-10 minutes
jogging to warm down.
