Half Marathon Training Program
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. The keys to a successful half marathon are to begin with a well-structured training plan that properly incorporates your abilities and goals, and to follow the plan with consistency.

This program is appropriate for those who wish to walk, run/walk, or run 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 aren't made overnight. People become half marathoners with intelligent, consistent training.

The 15 week comprehensive program will kick off in January at S.T.E.P.S. inc (located at 2424 21st Avenue South, Nashville, TN).
