My name is Alan Jenkin, and I created this Half Training Schedule service for people who want to exercise by running and have set their sights on a half marathon. For the past year, I have operated a beginner running program. When I started half marathon training I could find nothing for folks who run for fun and exercise: the training schedules were designed for runners intending to set new PRs, rather than those who wish to enjoy the training as well as the race.
Having run for health, fitness and pleasure for more
than 18 years, I recognized that I could support others in going from
couch potatoes to half marathoners in 18 weeks or so, without giving up
their life to training. We fitness runners like to train at a level
that minimizes the risk of injury. For us, two weeks off because of injuries is
a disaster: it means two weeks of disappointment and
deprivation.
Others schedule race training, we enjoy our workouts, running to enjoy the process rather than the prize.
