Half Marathon Training Schedule: A Week's Worth of Workouts
I'm Training For a Half-Marathon, and This Is What My Week of Workouts Looks Like
6
I do my long runs on the weekend, either Saturday or Sunday, depending on what my weekend schedule is like. At the beginning of my training schedule, my long runs were four miles with a gradual increase each week. Now that I'm in week 10, my long run is nine miles. Next week, it will be 10 miles, and the week after is the 13.1-mile race.
If I do my long run on Saturdays, I'll take Sunday as a rest day and focus on stretching, foam rolling, and using a Theragun G3 (Theragun lent me one to try out, and I've been using it throughout my half-marathon training). My hips, hamstrings, and IT band get incredibly tight, and the Theragun has been a huge help in working out those tight muscles. I put it on the lower setting and work around those areas for a few minutes at a time. I will definitely be bringing it with me to Vegas! Foam rolling is also important, especially for the IT band, so I make sure to do that as well. If my long run is on Sunday, I'll take Monday as my rest and stretch day.
