Choose Your Run Training Plan

I hope you have all successfully managed to build your base and you are now comfortable running 10 to 12 km continuously without soreness. The real training is about to begin. As you may already be aware, there are some great training plans available on the Scotiabank 1/2 Marathon site. You can access beginner to advanced plans designed by Coach Jenny Hadfield or from Forerunner's Coaches. I invite you to take a look to see what would best suit your current running level. These plans start March 21st so until then, keep running 3 times per week, with your long run at 10-12km or so. Keeping going with the core exercises two times per week or try this total body workout that will complement your running. If you have any questions about which plan to follow, send me an email or post a comment here. Remember these plans are generic and don't accommodate our individual needs - be prepared to adapt a little. I'll post training tips from now through June to complement these plans but I'll leave it to you to choose the appropriate training schedule. Happy Running.

I am doing the walk/run...it is so close to what I do already. I will read about injury free running as right now I have a sore knee and hip flexors. Hope that one helps.
