Are you thinking of running a half marathon this year? 🏃♀
Yes I am running Köln Halbmarathon in October but it’s not my first.
Yes Gothenburg half marathon, and its my first :)
Yes, I have registered for the premiere half marathon in my city, coming up this March. It'll be a relaxing cool down run in between a few ultra events scheduled in March as well 😊
Yes, because I'm stuck 10km max runs
Yesss!! I'll be participating my first HM this year💪🏻
Wow! The timing of this video; I am starting my first half marathon training block tomorrow! 😂
Good luck mate!
@@nunja924 Thanks!
Good luck! You got this!
@@Morfeusm Thank you! 🙏🏼
Awesome! You are going to smash it 🙌
im very new to running, only 4 months in, never run in school neither college. Joined a 5km race last december just for fun with pace 6.30min/km, soon after that decided to participate in a HM this march. At first I doubt myself running 21km straight since I couldnt run further than 7km back then, despite that feeling Ive been training consistently for 2 months hoping that I can finish before cut-off. Im shocked that not only I managed to do HM distance in my latest long run, there is some fuel remains in my tank to go further and faster (pace 6.35min/km) and I have 1 more month to train. My goal shifted from surviving HM to finish it in 2 hours. To those who are still contemplating joining whatever type of race, just register your name and start training. Good luck
I’m running a half marathon in the morning and have zero practice. I feel like this video got me ready
Got you ready for failure?
@@Snoootz worked out pretty good actually lol
Finding a good training plan is essential. I did the rookie mistake of starting my training too early, 6 months before the race, and running more or close to that distance every week beforehand, and subsequently burned out before the race. I ended up walking and running the last few miles, and the worst was seeing the signs of the mile pacers constantly passing me by. But it was worth it hearing the announcer call out my name as I crossed the finish line!
I then watched a bunch of GTN videos, and learned how to train and eat properly. Following GTN’s half-marathon training plan, I ran three half marathons last year with no problems, and I’m now training for my first marathon following GTN’s marathon plan!
That's so great to hear, good luck with the marathon!
I’m running my first half marathon in May!! I can only do 3 mins run/1 min walk intervals right now but I’m looking forward to longer stretches of being able to run!
Build yourself up and you'll be the there in no time 🙌
Just finished the first week of my new half marathon training block and feeling good. Trying to be patient and trust the process. Thanks for these tips!
Ooh, I needed this. I'm planning to do my first ever half this year and I have to start training in mid-Feb. Bit nervous.
It’s really just a longer long run! You can do this! Good luck with your training! And don’t forget to have fun!
The HM is a great distance. Enjoy the process!
doing my first at the end of the year!
It’s my dad’s main distance, trying to hit the goal he never managed and run sub-70 for him
As always GTN has the right video for my first half marathon in February 😅
Training for my first half marathon in February - second attempt - it should have been last year, but I got overconfident and did too many miles too soon and pulled a calf muscle... It's tempting to get carried away when the long run miles get easier.
Running my first half in 7 weeks! Been training for it since October 2023 with the guidance of a running coach. Threw in a 2 strength and conditioning sessions a week, which I didn't do before. Have only done a few sprint distance triathlons but enjoy running so much more. Most of my training is heart rate based training, mostly Zone 2 and I love it. Thanks for this video. Full of great tips!
Keep it going! 🙌
Just signed up for the Colfax Marathon (Half Marathon) and these videos are wonderfully helpful. Found a local park that has a 2.8 mile loop track I can train on for pace and plenty of mountains in Colorado to keep it varied. :)
I’m training for a half in May, I’ve run several halfs and a full marathon in the last couple of years so I’m comfortable with (or at least know) the distance. The challenge is this half is the last leg of an Ironman 70.3. My goal is to just finish under the cutoff of 8.5 hrs. I’m expecting to have to walk the hills and there will be significant elevation gain. In all my previous races I focused on pace but this one will be all about getting to the finish under the cutoff.
Would love some insight into the training plans / mileage and intensity splits of the professionals. Always enjoy your conversations with them.
Nice. Im tryging to get back to running 21ks. Life gets in the way ,huh
I just ran my first half marathon last Sunday. I got leg not feet cramps during the run. Other than that I was so happy with the participation. 😅
Will you make the same guide for the full marathon? I just finished my first half yesterday and I can’t imagine doing 13 more miles after that 😂
Yo! Congratulations! Good luck with the full marathon!
If you can and have the coin, check out seeing a running coach or trained sports physio and have them analyse your run style.
I was training for a marathon and needed help and what they did for me was amazing!
I would always have knee and joint issues, but they showed me how to strike the foot landing properly and my knees haven’t hurt since.
Agreed!
Hi! I am in a tri club and we have scheduled 3-4 runs a week (I usually do just 3) and 2 of them are with the rest of the club members. I train with the sprint/olympic group and the runs are between 50-70 minutes depending on workout and we do Fartlek, track series, tempo runs...
I did a month ago a 37:00 10k and I think I'm prepared for the Madrid Half Marathon on April 28 and that I´m going to do it a reasonable time (I would say around 1:30 depending on how the training goes and other races that can affect the half marathon).
My doubt is if I should just do the planned workouts, including all the other disciplines and just maybe doing a little longer the long runs orfocusing more on the run if for example a weekend I can only do one training, going for a run or if I should ask my coach for an specific race plan (or other sources). I am unsure because I would like to keep doing duathlon and triathlon during the season and I have also signed for my first olympic later in June and I know the half marathon is just a personal goal and doing 1:20 or 1:40 and competing at a good level for the rest of the season would still make me satisfied , but on the other hand I would like to be as prepared as possible and do my best.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and would like to give me some advice :)
I plan on running mine wearing crocs 😂
Wish this had come out a bit earlier, I was following a plan my watch suggested for me to train for my half, and I got scheduled long runs of up to 26 km. If you can imagine I ended up with an overuse injury thanks to that. My long run was up to about 66% of my weekly mileage on this plan which seems pretty excessive doesn't it?
I just ran one today by accident. Got lost on my long run. 😅
Hello
I want to do a sub-2hours for my next half marathon. I did 2h26min (I was injured and did walk and run) last year and I want to know for my intervals and tempo run sessions should I ran at my target pace or my current fitness level pace. I’m not sure if I should push through the effort and run faster or progress towards my target pace sessions after sessions.
(I don’t know if my question is clear but if anyone has some some inputs I will be glad to hear it 😇 thank you in advance for your help 😊)
Question, I am a Beginner, my biggest problem is my breathing however my body can sustain a greater amount than than lets say 7 miles but I find myself battling with breathing. Is this correctable lets say to challenge myself for 15 kilometers and actually consider a half marathon that is a little over 7 weeks out?
NICE
Just funneling a plate of pasta down your throat the night before is not going to help you. A normal amount of carbs is all you need. Feel full, not hungry, that’s it all. If you’re running between two and three hours for your first half marathon, a massive calorie meal will be more than you burn on the whole run.
I find it’s better to have carb heavy meal two days before. Day before is usually eating as much safe as possible (learned my lesson 😅).
I came here for the training plan and you say "find one online"!
Hello cop
Did you do the half marathon? 🤔
What if there is no time .. only 2 weeks 😢😅🎉😂
The only reason for a grown adult to run is if a lion is chasing you or you don’t have a bike 😁
Screw "nutrition" during a race. Just drink some water, and not much of that. You should be used to running that pace and a half marathon should be under 2 hours. You can't go 2 hours without a snack? Just run.
Sure you can finish a half without worrying about nutrition but only drinking water will deplete lots of sodium and you’re gonna feel that at the end of a race. You should optimize nutrition if you’re going for a personal best at the very least
@@caseydupre5376 your average recreational half marathoner can finish in under 2 hours. a decent recreational runner can do it in under 1:30. maybe at that point you would be thinking about PR's. anyone who can run a decent time probably has a 12-mile weekly long run without even drinking water. the top 10 of any big half will finish under 1:15, with world elites under an hour, and they just drink a little water. the world elite marathoners just drink a little water, but most elites could easily get out of bed and run a sub 2:30 without drinking any water.
why not eat lasagna and meat balls if you really want to "optimize" your nutrition during a race? think how much faster you'll run! maybe top it off with a hot fudge sundae?
just run and drink a little water on very long runs and that's it. in fact, less "optimization" at home (losing a few pounds} will do more for a decent recreational runner's PR than anything else. really good runners are all beanpoles.
