I need help! Yikes...my head is spinning in all different directions! I am new to Cathe! I am thinking about signing up for the HalfMarathon May 1, 2005....I am trying to put a program together using running and the Intensity Series, plus Imax/HSTA/MIC/RS....I usually jog about every day in the summer 2-3 miles each day (maybe one day off) but now that I found Cathe - I love love those workouts too! How do I train for a half marathon and incorporate everything else?? This is what I am thinking?? I looked up Hal Higdons half marathon training program.......

Monday: Pilates/Muscle Endurance
Tuesday: jog/BC Abs
Wednesday: Pilates/Imax (1 or 2)
Thursday: Jog/Muscle Endurance
Friday: Rest/yoga
Saturday: Boot Camp or one of the Terminators/Walk with dog
Sunday: Long Run/PUB

I am getting ready to order the MIS/Power Hour/Body Max and will swap out when necessary...........

I am an advanced excerciser, but just getting back into the season of running, so i might follow the novice program until I can bump up the mileage towards the end?? Any and all suggestions would be helpful........I love HSTA too and cannot figure out where to fit that one in! x(
 
Hey Reba, I was looking at your rotation and On Monday why not do HSTA and Pilates then just do ME on Thursday with your jog? Also, check out the book, Marathoning for Mortals by John Bingham (the Penguin). Both are great plans!!! Good Luck!!! Keep us posted!!!

Thanks! I never thought of that! I think I will mix it up a bit on Mondays!:) :) I just hope the weather cooperates and I can actually get outside to jog and train..........if not I might be post-poning my half marathon until the next one in summer, I think I can find one early summer........weather in the midwest is sooooooooooo unpredictable!
 
Hi Amy,
I am not from Ohio, but from Nebraska! I think we both have to battle with the weather - I cannot wait for spring!!!!!
 
WooHoo!!! I think you've got worse winter weather than me:) !!
I'm with you though, I can't wait for spring also. Keep me posted on your half marathon experience!!! I can' t wait to hear all about it. I'm signing up for the Columbus Grand Prix. It's a 10 race circuit that last till mid september. That should keep me motivated throughout the year;-) .


Have a great day!!!
