Fall Marathon and Half Marathon Training Plan

Week 1 Workout:

Speed work:
- 2 mile warm up
-8 x 400m @ 5K pace
-2 mile cool down

Medium long run:
4-6 miles focusing on good form

Long run:
This is going to be at least 8 miles or two more miles than your last long run in 2 weeks. You do not want to climb higher than two miles of your last long run to risk injury.
-2 mile warm up
-8 mile progressive pace and decreasing about 6 seconds per mile
-Add in easy miles to hit your mileage needed if any
-2 miles cool down

After each of these workouts (Speed, Medium long run and Long run) do a recovery day! This is based on how many miles you feel you need and at a very easy pace.

Add one rest day in there!

Happy running, friends!
XOXO

Me, in a Nutshell

Hello all! I just wanted to introduce myself a little. I am 24 years young. I studied at Utah Valley University getting my degree in Public and Community health with a minor in Exercise and Sports Science. I am very passionate about health and finding a balance in life. I have lived in Utah my whole life and I absolutely love it. I have a strong passion for the outdoors. I love helping people increase the quality of their life through increasing their health. I don't believe in diet pills, medications, "7 day detoxes", or special magical pills that will make you instantly lose weight overnight. It takes work.

I believe in getting out and living each day to the fullest. I am currently training for the Boston Marathon. I ran the Utah Valley Marathon i...
