How to run a half-marathon Week 1

And hopefully you’re able to run 30 minutes without stopping. Are you ready to get started? This program is designed to get you across the finish line in one piece, you will not break any records with this. I’ve decided to break this down into a weekly segment instead of just throwing the whole thing at you. So let’s get started!
You’ll be running four days a week. I will have a suggested day of the week to run these, but you can mold this to fit your own schedule. Saturday is set as the long run each week.
Monday: 3 miles
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: 4 miles
Thursday: 3 miles
Friday: Off
Saturday: 5 miles
Sunday: Off
So your first week will have you running a grand total of 15 miles! Make sure to take it easy on your Thursday run, your body is still getting use to running and you have just pushed yourself probably further than you ever had before.
Good job! Week 2 is next.
