Training Plan For Half Marathon

My 10K race is coming up soon, so I’ll need to start looking ahead to decide what I do after that. Well, I’ll start re-training up for a Half Marathon, since I’m able to do a sub-1hr 10K (although I’d be happy to hit below 50 minutes.) Endomondo estimates my completion time as 2hr 4min 13s based on my current 10K PB.

Commuting to work. Feasible for some, not very much so for others. For me, this is the equivalent of running a Half Marathon each way. Probably not possible right now, but if I could do that, then I would be doing an Annette.

Training Plans on Endomondo

 

Endomondo have started rolling out training plans for runners. These training plans are dynamic in that they update and change based on your progress and fitness.

You must churn out a certain mileage per week in order to qualify for a training plan. For example, I do around 15K a week, and therefore, Endomondo offers me a 5-15km training plan, but doesn’t offer me a Half Marathon or Marathon training plan.

Here’s an example of a training plan Endomondo offered me for a 10K. I’m not using this plan for two reasons. First, I’m already in the middle of a training plan with MyAsics, and second, this plan finishes in JANUARY and the earliest I can end the plan is October 25th, which is way beyond the date of October 6th when my first 10K race is.

Today’s Run

Tracks: Endomondo

No ZR tracks today, and probably no more going forward, as the app is proving to be VERY frustrating lately.

First decent run in over a week. Have definitely lost my edge. :-(

Heck, what am I saying? I just took 30 seconds off my 1 km PB. I might have lost my edge, but I’m definitely getting faster. Must be this new wireless headset I’m using. I’m not having to be over-conscious about where the wire is.

Summary:
Cooper (12 min): 2.76 km (Prev PB: 2.52 km)
1 km: 3m:43s (Prev PB: 4m:11s)
1 mile: 6m:22s (Prev PB: 7m:07s)
