| Illinois Runs Training Program Run for a Reason CAC Half-marathon |
This 11-week training program will get you from an aerobic fitness level
of running 5 miles to finishing the Run For a Reason CAC 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 at every 2 to 3 miles along
the course.
