79 | How to Train for the Half Marathon
<p>The Half Marathon is a special distance.<br></p>
<p>It's unique from any other road race in that it requires the perfect blend of both speed and endurance to get it right.<br></p>
<p>There are many runners who can run a strong 5K or 10K, but struggle in
the half. They simply lack the endurance to carry their speed for so
long.<br></p>
<p>Like wise, I know plenty of athletes who have run impressive marathons,
but their half marathon pace is barely any faster than what they have
run for 26.2 miles.<br></p>
<p>I love the half marathon, because it requires you to be such a well-rounded athlete to run one well.<br>Do you want to run a <em>great half marathon</em> in the coming year?<br></p>
