Program Prerequisites
Past physical experience:
You should be able to run 6 miles or 60 minutes without stopping.
If you have injuries, ensure you have appropriate medical support before beginning this program. If you’ve never run before I suggest starting with either:
The Walk/Run 5 km Program or the Run a 10km Training Program.
This program is designed to improve your individual half marathon time, regardless of what your time is now. Advanced means that you have a solid running background, not that you are fast – and if you are well you’ll only become faster!
This program recommends two very important tools:
- Polar Heart Rate Monitor to set and monitor your training zones,
- MyPypeline Prehab Kit for your strength training.
Both help you train efficiently and effectively and each is an excellent investment in your fitness career.
Average session duration:
All run sessions (except Sunday) are an average of 1 hour.
Your Sunday Long Slow Distance Run will become longer as the program progresses. It will start at 60 minutes and end at approximately 2 hours.
Average weekly time commitment: 7-9 hours
Next progression:
Conquer this half marathon race, challenge yourself with the ADVANCED MyPypeline training videos and consider the challenge of a Full Marathon.
