download hal higdon half marathon novice 1

It may seem counterproductive to consider rest a workout, but rest is as important a part of your training as the running. When you begin novice 1, the first workout you encounter on Monday (and all Mondays) is rest.

Let’s begin by defining the workouts for novice 1.

This is an excerpt from Hal Higdon’s Half Marathon Training by Hal Higdon. It is designed for people with some background as a runner, whether or not they have run a marathon … Novice 1 Novice 2 Intermediate 1 Intermediate 2 Advanced 1 Advanced 2 Novice Supreme Personal Best Marathon 3 Marathon Recovery Multiple Marathons Hal Higdon’s MARATHON TRAINING GUIDE Novice 2 HERE IS MY NOVICE 2 PROGRAM, a slight step upwards in difficulty from Novice 1. I like to feel that 3-hour marathoners can benefit from a Novice program that 5-hour marathoners can doĮver run, to running a 5k, to target Hal Higdon Novice 1 Half Marathon – You should be able to run 3 miles, 3-4 Hal Higdon Marathon Novice 2 – You should have been running for a year. Your best previous marathon does not automatically put you into a slot. Comfortable running speedwork? If not, please stay away from Advanced 1 and 2. Looking to run more miles? Intermediate 1 and 2 are focused entirely on adding miles to your log. so basically it was like a 20 weeks or so of base building, 12 weeks of earnest half marathon training block, half marathon race, down week (right now), right into 12 week marathon training.I’m going to point you to Novice 1 or 2.

take peak week and repeat it with a bit more, making the second one the new peak week (but not by much)Īs for me, I am signed up for my first at Austin 2022, which is ~13 weeks out, but I just raced my first half and am coming off that training block so my base and paces are there.

take a build week somewhere in the middle and repeat it, maybe with a bit more than the previous but not as much as the next.

like if im normally doing 20 mpw and week1 of the plan is 30mpw, i'd do a week at 22, 25, 27 etc. If week 1 was a big jump from my normal mileage/pace, I'd see the difference between week 1 and week 2 and work that backwards for 'preweek1' etc. i would probably do some combo of the following (my advice with a mountain of salt, i'm new at this myself):

Would be dependent on where i was going in and how intense i felt the plan was.
