No shit Sherlock if you are want to do a half marathon you should have some good distance practice under ur belt before even training for one. No beginner starts running and their first week they train for a half marathon
Yeah, also when you arent training for a particular race take 2 rest days and walk on the rest days, better for your health by a teeny bit. I personally recommend wednesday and sunday
@@coloursarebrighter4719yes obviously you will have to be able to do a 7 mile run if you are gonna run a half marathon but if you do that much mileage in your first week, you are very likely to get injured either immediately or later on into your training. The right thing to do is slowly build up mileage ramping it up each week so you don't get injured.
First of all. DONT do this for first half marathon. Especially for first 1-3 weeks...start slow with eaey runs. After few weeks add small intervals sessions not too wild,then build up your interval/strides into harder&longer ones. Long run should be little faster tham HM. Easy runs and Up-tempo runs should be your focus for first 2-3 weeks if you are doing your first half marathon. Depends on a runners experience really. But still if a beginner sees this video. They will probably end up with injury or really slow recoveries
Guys: it’s not that complicated. Your body was made to move. Go for a run. Run at a pace that makes you feel good and that you enjoy. Listen to something or nothing, that you enjoy while running. Then run again the next day. Or don’t. Move your body in a different way. It’s not rocket science. I ran 14 miles after 3 months of training by cutting out the crap “I needed to do before starting” and just starting. I’m down 35 lbs and I feel so so much happier about my body. Ignore the video. Especially ignore the comments about needing to do a 5k and 10k before half marathon training. Our ancestors for 1000s of years didn’t make sure to run a few 5k’s before they “trained” for a long distance. Just get out and run however you want
Just said screw it and sent it for my first 1/2 the other day in Toronto, amazing experience, definitely going to train for my next one 🤣 I was fine till 11/12km, legs cramped up like crazzzzyyy, finished at 2:24:40
this is obviously a plan for people trying to race a half marathon (not just finish it) 🤦🏽♂️ and if you can race a half marathon jogging 7 miles in your first week should be easy. for example i have never ran a hm while training for 5ks my long run is 7 miles, so this plan would be perfect for me. A conditioned runner who just hasn’t tried a hm.
@@justsoccer4642you realize the world record holders for the 1 and 2 mile "races" will do up to 13 miles for there long runs and 4-8 mile long tempos. Your long run when training for a 5k should be 10+ miles. So the guy in the video has no idea what he's doing
@@jimmy3k767 lol why would i need a 10+ long run for a 5k. 7 is enough as i am not trying to become a world class athlete. Just trynna improve my 5k time. 🤙🏽
This is more like 5k training. Half marathon training should mostly be long slow miles with a quality long run and a variation of a tempo run or tempo intervals from week to week.
Ah shit i havnt trained that well i have trained 1 week from the couch and my first 5k is in three days so far ive ran (2) 4mile runs and been doing walks plus yoga. Three days left im doing my longest run today and that gives me 2 days to recover for the big day. Wish me luck!
@@sleeperagent2594 good luck man! My comment applies more to those that are trying to get more advanced with their running, you’re doing exactly what you should be doing as a beginner or someone just getting back into shape! The adrenaline and atmosphere of the race will have you feeling just fine for the race! Good luck again!
@@Venxlation what I do, which might be a bit different cause I’m a college 4/8/15 guy is speed development, lifting and easy miles over the summer, but the guys looking to compete in 8k/10k XC in the fall are doing a moderate run on Monday w/ short hill sprints, easy Tuesday, Tempo on Wednesday, easy Thursday, easy and hills Friday, and then a progressive long run Saturday.
@@Venxlation lifting is fantastic for runners, a stronger body helps you recover faster, makes you more resistant to injury, and can help you improve your top end speed which trickles all the way to those longer distances
love this bro thank you edit- My first half i did last month was 1:48 and i run another next month. XC season is also starting so this helps w that too
I did my first half marathon on a whim after I ate a big steak lunch. I had alot of exhaustion and discomfort around mile 10.5-11 but I finished it out. I think most of my issue was the fact I didn’t hydrate and became very dehydrated through the run. So if you do somewhat long distance like that bring a water bottle
I see a lot of people saying injury and what not. However this is doable for anyone. Obviously one thing you need to learn about this long distance thing is that you want to really slow yourself down when you run specially at the beginning. Follow what he says and take test days in between those days until you can do these without getting sore and then you can add speed
I just signed up for my first half marathon. There is no way I’d be stupid enough to try this routine. And I currently run 7 mile stretches. But this workout is a great way to burn out completely week one.
Tip: if you unclench your fists your hands will be more relaxed and conserve some energy. Pretend you’re holding a chip in your hand and you can’t break it.
Not really. Speed is key to maintain race paces afterwards. But yea. For first weeks no need to do intervals especially if you are a beginner. 100% injury or delayed recovery(if beginner)
Nah, that's not enough. Yall are honestly pussies. I've never done any running in my life until recently and I've been consistently running 12 miles with a good marathon time
bro it’s not 😂😂 but the paces are for a beginner they should usually focus on just times like easy 30-45 min at your own pace yes as you progress some days should be faster
I feel like new people don't realize when people say "easy 5 miles" or "easy 10 miles" THEY DON'T MEAN IT'S EASY. They mean to do those miles at an EASY PACE.
Arm swing looks great when you are doing strides and sprints, but I think you can either drop your arms for your long runs or keep them closer to your body. Lots of unnecessary waste of movements/energy during your jog.
Don't. If you are at 0, just run. Not at max speed. Check time. Make sets of that time running and that time walking/ stretching. Say you can only run at a decent pace for 40 seconds, run 40, stretch 40. Do this for 4 to 6 times. (2 to 3 away from home and back.) As you adapt you'll notice you run further and easier. Start with 2 or 3 a week. Either build times per week, or sets, or time per set. Not more than 1. So week 1, 2 days. 6 times 40 secs. Week 2, 2 days 6 times 45 secs Week 3, 3 days 6 times 45 secs Week 4, 3 days 8 times 45 secs Week 5, 3 days, 8 times 1 min You could also change it up as long as yhe total is the same Week 5, 3 days, 8 times 1 min. Week 6, 3 days, 4 times 2 min. Seems slow. Is even slower to do this, get tendonitis in the foot for 6 months and give up buy now also have a permanent injury Go slow.
Nahhh I did 2 miles 2 days for 3 weeks and then 3 on weekend and then upped the long by 1 mile each week. So far minimal pain... go slow add on miles slow. I'm at 6 miles for my long now and 3 is pretty easy. But I worked up to it.
Why the hell would anyone want to train a half marathon routine training for their first week? Like, it's in the name, it's to prepare you to run a half marathon.
@@yuzutranslationch.8516 you’d be surprised, many ambitious people with no previous experience that are trying to run a marathon will jump right into training that will set them up for injury🤷♂️
Then probably don't do it, genius? This is for fit people. This program is easy af. Imagine if someone would show an advanced marathon plan, you'd really 💩 yourself. 🙄🤡
you will get injured if you jump straight into this. Start slowly at your own pace and listen to your body.
True, I jumped straight into it while having only experienced 10k runs like 5 months prior. My legs are fine but are extremely sore.
nobody does half marathon training without accomplishing 5ks and 10ks
No shit Sherlock if you are want to do a half marathon you should have some good distance practice under ur belt before even training for one. No beginner starts running and their first week they train for a half marathon

Haha you guys just bad genetics i never run and ran 20k off rip
Damn bro, you got them doing a 7 mile slow run on the first week for a half marathon training.
Nah cus that’s light work, it’s slow, your half marathon ur gonna be going faster, hopefully if you are training you are fit and conditioned
If you can’t run a slow 7 miles how are you gonna run 13 miles?
@@coloursarebrighter4719yes obviously you will have to be able to do a 7 mile run if you are gonna run a half marathon but if you do that much mileage in your first week, you are very likely to get injured either immediately or later on into your training.

@@magnito5982 then don’t do this much in your first week?
This is for people that want to be able to run it fast not just complete it if you Just wanna finish time doesnt mater than its not a video for you.
As a person who hav ran a half marathon twice, I recommend running the same distance, 3 times a week, and slowly increase it.
First of all. DONT do this for first half marathon. Especially for first 1-3 weeks...start slow with eaey runs. After few weeks add small intervals sessions not too wild,then build up your interval/strides into harder&longer ones.

Will use this when I do in a few years
Definitely gonna have to do some more 100m striders and 1 mile intervals
Dam the camera man never rest ha 😂😂

What is 1 mile repeats?
Makes u wonder what they are building
He looks so different when he isnt squinting and sweating
Number of days to train for half marathon… 5, that is all.
took me 8 months to start running 10km non stop had to drop 20kg then my archiles blew up
Day 1-3 mile tempo…… right.
The mental discipline that it takes to execute this is even more impressive than the sheer physical endurance.
5 days is fucking overkill lol.
Bro I can’t run down the block without needing my inhaler
Amazing to me that people think this is intended to be a "couch to half marathon" plan
What is this in kilometres 😅
Don't.
If you are at 0, just run. Not at max speed. Check time.
Make sets of that time running and that time walking/ stretching.
Say you can only run at a decent pace for 40 seconds, run 40, stretch 40.
Do this for 4 to 6 times. (2 to 3 away from home and back.)
As you adapt you'll notice you run further and easier.
Start with 2 or 3 a week.
Either build times per week, or sets, or time per set.
Not more than 1.
So week 1, 2 days. 6 times 40 secs.
Week 2, 2 days 6 times 45 secs
Week 3, 3 days 6 times 45 secs
Week 4, 3 days 8 times 45 secs
Week 5, 3 days, 8 times 1 min
You could also change it up as long as yhe total is the same
Week 5, 3 days, 8 times 1 min.
Week 6, 3 days, 4 times 2 min.
Seems slow.
Is even slower to do this, get tendonitis in the foot for 6 months and give up buy now also have a permanent injury
Go slow.
do u go to collage or
With this rutine i Can Tun a Marathon in 2 Werks More 😊

Im pretty sure he is assuming if youre doing a half marathon you already run
As an Indian these "mile" things hurt my head.
3 miles ain’t gonna cut it for day 1

This is not enough volume for a half marathon.

definitely dont
This is way to much speed work for any runner to be doing this is unnecessary and will cause injury if done for long periods
It irritates me so much that he calls them "striders" in all of his videos. I know its petty of me but I can't help it.
What about a sub 2 hours marathon 😂😂😂
Dont follow this advice he did not even say to strength train in gym. I have ran three London Marathons this advice is poo.
Too much quality
Terrible advice. No need to rush it this much no matter what age you are.
Just ran full marathon with no training at all. Its just mental
Way to many workouts
