Half- Marathon Cycle 6

So jumping into cycle 6 now at the end of a 12 week progression is a fresh start for me especially after getting covid, having some time off, and putting on ~25 miles a week. Now that the weather is getting a bit colder and warmer… really odd to put into the same sentence, but that is just what it is here in NJ.

For this upcoming training cycle is consisting of a garmin coaching program that I am using for the first time. I’m following the Jeff Galloway run-walk-run program for an upcoming half-marathon this spring. To supplement the running that I have been doing and that’s been very benefical. (As I write this I realize the effects of the training that I have been doing, and how much I haven’t felt weak in months.)

The following plan is a 10 week muscle split over 5 days. It’ll be the first split program that I am going to follow in a couple of years. The only reason we are going with this program, has to deal with strengthening and focusing on more specific areas for certain days. This is more of an opportunity over the next 10 weeks to build up each of these areas in anticipation for some longer runs come the start of spring.

Run-Walk-Run Training Plan

This is going to be the first garmin led plan that I am going to follow. I’ve been following the joy of jogging and my own variations for the past two years since I started getting into running. So excited to see if this helps break the 90 min half marathon!
