I advise you several things for those who decide to face this new, demanding challenge of the half marathon, you must take into account physical, mental and nutritional aspects; And let's start with the first of the physical aspects where clearly the key is going to be adding more kilometers than we have been doing until now, in order to sufficiently work on resistance.
This is achieved by planning with enough time in advance of the race to be able to correctly comply with the progressions that take you safely.
gradual accumulation of more and more kilometers and also a little more intensity, allowing your body to correctly assimilate those loads and preventing you from falling into injuries, how much especially for beginners and for beginners, those who are doing their first half marathons is essential that the specific planning for the 21 km has no less than 12 weeks; It is important for everyone but especially for this group.
The most experienced runners can do a few weeks less, but if you are in that group of those who are just starting out, believe me, it is key that you dedicate enough time to this jump in distances from 10 to 21 km and this progression that you are going to make. Gradually doing it as if you were climbing a ladder will mean that with approximately three weeks left until your half marathon you will be doing those long runs, those dips.
And although it may be obvious, I think it is worth clarifying that it is not
You are going to do those training sessions during the week at a minimum, you should at least have three other sessions, in addition to the long run; I am not saying that there will be four workouts per week, but at least that is it, there may be a few more, but not less than 4 days per week and on those other days you will be alternating between different types of stimuli that seek to work on other aptitudes, such as your speed, your strength and your adaptation, your assimilation of training.
