Training Plans Half Marathon

Some of you have expressed some interest in completing a half marathon and/or 10k race and you have asked me to put a training plan together for you, so true to my word I have put together a few options for you (see below and attached)

Half Marathon: There are two options that you can choose from; a 10 week or 12 week plan, both options are very similar in your week training but the difference is in your long weekend training run, one will train you up to 12 miles and the other 10 miles. The other difference is that one of the options incorporates two race pace sessions mid training to improve stamina and strengthen your pace. (Both the plans below are available as a word or pdf document - Just let me know and I will email it to you) Depending on the plan you opt for your training will need to start week commencing 5th or 19th March in time for you  to be ready for the Sheffield Half Marathon on the 27th May. To support you in your training I will be holding weekly weekend training sessions for your long run sessions these will be lead routes from either Wisewood or Forge Valley School starting in March. 
Good Luck Gaye
