- 2.0, 08/08/2024 - Workout duration: from 8 to 12 weeks. RSR introduced. New type of interval trainings and long runs.
NOTES ON SYMBOLS USED IN THE TABLES
Workouts that include interval trainings have a warm-up phase (WUP), a fast phase and a recovery phase (REC).
The pace of the fast phase depends on its length, so short (SIT), medium (MIT), long (LIT)
and very long (VLIT) repetitions are expected.
Long runs are performed at paces (VL) on average 20 seconds slower than reference pace (REF), sometimes with
portions performed at faster paces. During the weeks, evaluate the post-long stress to avoid overloads: if the pace of
the long runs is too fast and you feel tired performing the following week's sessions, consider performing the long
runs more slowly. Obviously, if we deviate too much from the race pace, we risk running an untraining run and therefore
we need to rethink the target time for the half marathon.
In the table there are slow (SR), medium (MR) and fast (FR) running paces.
In some cases VL is a faster pace than SR.
The training sessions following the long runs include a slow regenerating run (RSR).
The following table includes 4 weekly workouts. If you can only do 3 week workouts, do not consider the Friday workout.
