The 13.1 mile half marathon is a highly respected race among endurance athletes. The physiology of the half marathon is straightforward--it is a test of stamina. Keys to successful half marathons are to begin with a well-structured plan that properly incorporate your abilities and goals, and to follow the plan with consistency.
Spring Half Marathons:
* Country Music Half Marathon--April 30th (www.CMMarathon.com; cost $90 thru 12/31)
* Knoxville Half Marathon--April 3rd (www.KnoxvilleMarathon.com; cost $50 thru 2/15)
* Lynchburg Half Marathon--April 2nd (www.oakbarrelhalf.com; cost $50 thru 12/31)
This program is appropriate for those who wish to run, run/walk, or walk the half marathon. DO NOT FEAR! Three months is plenty of time for novice athletes to prepare their minds and bodies to complete a half marathon. Remember, endurance athletes are not made overnight. People become half marathoners with intelligent consistent training.
