Ask the Experts: Half-Marathon Training Q+A with Bud Baldaro

THanks for the advice Bud, will certainly try out what you say.

Apologies for hijacking this thread, but I wanted to seek some advice and i think there is a lot of experience in this thread!!!

I am training towards a sub 3hr 15mins marathon target for October, im going by a 16 week plan as set on runnersworld for the garmin, im in week 6....

I need to do a half marathon race this sunday, it merly states run @ half marathon pace. To achieve a 3hr 15min marathon, i need to run a half marathon in and around 1hr 31mins...

does this need to be achieved by week 6 of the 16 wk programme or at alater stage (there is anothe rhalf marathon race later in the programme)

Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge, greatly appreciated!

has the date passed as just back on line.

dont think you needed to achieve time by end of july.

stay calm and patient and know your targets

come back to me if you wish

best
