My Forum

Hi everyone,

I play tennis (doubles) once a week on Sunday mornings. Usually I play at least 3 sets with a one set break in between. With this Sunday-game being permanent, I am unable to make a schedule from the various plans available (for 12 to 13 weeks) for training for a half-marathon.

They usually talk about cross-training in-between but not about a game like tennis.

What do I forego in those plans or how do I tweak it to accommodate my Sunday-tennis without straining myself too much and yet getting ready for the half-marathon

Fyi, I did my first half-marathon in Jan’12 (just under 3 hours) and plan to do my next half-marathon in Jan’13 (so I have about 14 weeks roughly to train)

Many thanks in advance
