Are you training for a half marathon or maybe you have a different virtual race planned? Tell us how you are preparing for it and where you are with your training in the comments down below!

1. Run at pace 4:59/km
2. Don't die

Your advise really worked. Ran my last half marathon in 1:43:02. I believe that’s good for an over 50.

my current goal is to find an event which is actually going to happen in 2020!

8 minutes per mile! Are you trying to kill me?

For me it was just mileage, mileage, mileage.

To get that mileage, I dropped my effort level. Lots of easy runs, 1 fast run a week.

I built it up to the point 2 or 3 halves a month, with my weekly long run usually over HM distance.

First half marathon in 2017 was 2h03m
March 2020 1h37m

the problem with this is that 4.59min/k is like my 10k pace lol

All good advice,I started running at 55yrs of age and did a 1.55half .This year did the bath half and did a 1.40.39 at 57 yrs of age, I basically ran the training plan you've just advised us too use and it works. Good luck to anyone trying to get under 1.45.

Just recently hit a new pb half of 1:40:05. Really pushed hard beat the 1:40:00 but just missed

I'm training for my first one now, and I honestly just want to make it back home😂😂😂
I probably will end up around 2:15-2:30.

I found picking a net downhill helped 😂🏃

My half-marathon goal would be to break 2 hours, I've done 2:05, but that's as close as I've gotten. One half Marathon that turned into a rain fest I did in 2:45, nothing quite takes the fun out of your sails then getting poured on nonstop 😀.

Just run my first half marathon ever and i finished in 1:42. Brutal, but addictive

Hi guys I've finally broken my 1:45:00 half marathon. Im 53 years old. I started running just under a year ago. I've done a few, as in three now. My first one March this year was 1:48:50. My next one was 1:45:32 three weeks ago.  I immediately booked another as i knew I could have paced it better. This weekend i ran one in 1:42:33.  I'm absolutely buzzing now.   You never stop learning how to pace these distances.  Every course is different too.  Love your videos, keep em coming.

My best time so far is 1:43 hoping to get under 1:30 soon, keep running ❤

I run randomly & have cycled for years but managed a pb of 1:33 @ 51 yrs old. Good fun & time to lose ones self n reflect 🤗🤩

Since I finished my first half in 3h00 will use these tips for a sub 2h45 hahaha.
Great videos as always.

Anna, can you convert "8 minutes and one mile per second" to metric for me? :-D.

Doubling 10km time also doesn’t work as half marathon is not 20km but just over 21km...that extra km makes a big difference 😄

I ran my first half marathon yesterday. I had a plan and then a time goal I wanted to push for. I ended up being over 17 minutes slower! The terrain I trained on was mostly up the roads and sidewalks in my neighborhood and the terrain in my race had sand, soft and uneven grass, things to hurdle and climb over, etc. I wish I knew the route I’d be racing in to try to train in some of those types of areas.
