This includes body maintenance of cross-training and stretching to stay injury free.
Training for a marathon typically takes 12 to 20 weeks of regimented work. But if you have a solid base, your body can handle a more abbreviated 8 week marathon training plan.
The marathon distance is all about strength and endurance. There is a slight break in the training and you will not increase your total mileage this week. Rest is extremely important and it's all about finding that perfect balance of pushing through and challenging yourself and resting and allowing those adaptions to fully take place.
Puts you at your longest long run mileage of 11 miles before the half marathon! Y ou have done the majority of the hard work while hopefully staying injury free! You can read all about the benefits, how and why you should be tapering over here but your mileage leading up to your half marathon is reduced. Schedule 3 rest days, 1 cross training instead of one of your shorter training runs during the week , and 3 running days.
This is the biggest predictor of your half marathon success! If you must, choose to opt out of one of your cross training first and if then a shorter training run if you must. Schedule 2 rest days, 1 cross training day instead of one of your shorter training runs during the week , and 4 running days.
However, I would suggest doing some speed work on Tuesdays in the form of a tempo run or interval training if you are trying to become faster or stronger. If you would like to add cross training : then see the above notes on modifying your training plan to incorporate this. A lot of the ability of being able to run a half marathon comes from having a total body fitness level and that is why cross training is important.
I would recommend about minutes for strength training and up to 40 minutes for aerobic type exercise. However if you have more strenuous goals such as setting a PR personal record or even just becoming faster for this half marathon, I would focus on adding in another running day and make it a speed training workout instead of doing a cross training workout.
