Illinois Runs Training Programs
| ILLINOIS RUNS ALPINE HALF MARATHON TRAINING PROGRAM |
This 14-week training program will get you from an aerobic fitness level
of running 2 miles to finishing the Alpine Half Marathon. You can use
this training program to help you build up your mileage by just one mile
on the weekend long run for two weeks then on every third week you
back off the mileage and rest up for the following weekend mileage
increase. By steadily increasing your mileage you are less likely to get
injured before your half marathon. You will be both physically and
mentally stronger just knowing that you have done all the physical and
mental training needed to get you through the distance of the half
marathon. What better way to go through the experience than with the
camaraderie of other fellow runners of your level? The experienced
group leaders will guide you through your weekend group training runs
as they share their experiences with you. There will be group leaders of
many different speeds from a 8:30 pace per mile to the 12:00 pace per
mile. Don’t worry if you think you might be too slow to run with a group
because you won’t be. No runner will ever be left to run on his own.
The group leaders are there to answer your questions and help you
get through each weekend run. All weekend training runs will provide
water and Gatorade at every 2 to 3 miles along the course.
