[...] Over the weekend, due to a failed long run, which you can read about here, I was feeling really frustrated with the training plan that I am following in order to ace my next half marathon. It doesn’t seem to be fitting with what I know about my body, capabilities and fit in well enough around my life. So I have developed my OWN plan which includes different kinds of runs (speedwork, tempo, base runs) and particular paces to hit for the different runs as time goes on and that all important race day gets closer. It combines information from Hal Higdon’s plans as well as the online ASICS plan and of course, invaluable assistance from Another Mother Runner. [...]

Of course you can! I’m at 58 y.o. mom of two grown kids, one married, 2 grandkids (who live in Africa! *boo hoo*) and I began to run in July 2012 – you can indeed do this. Its brought me closer to friends I had but hadn’t been around lately, I’m making new friends, have energy, interest, etc. It may open your life up to many good things: healthier you, more zest for life, interest in running, cute running clothes, it goes on an on. Do it!

Hello…. I have both of your books and I want to start the “own it” half-marathon training plan but I was wondering if you coul de-mail it to me? I am the type who likes to X out each workout when I complete it and I thought it might be easier to make one if it was a pdf rather than a photocopy from my book? Thanks and thanks for the fabulous books!

Ooooh!!! Thanks!! Gonna attempt to begin my training. August is not too far off – maybe – just maybe the half by then? It’s feasible. Quitting is not an option. ; )

H stands for Hill, in the Half Marathon Own It Plan it means for that work out warm up (WU) for 10min, ending at the bottom of a hill. Run up for 45sec at zone 4-5 effort then walk back down, repeat 6x. Cool Down (CD) for 10min. Can also be done on the treadmill.
