Legs and Running

For those interested in running a half marathon  we have included three half marathon training programmes.

For beginning runners go to Level 1

For Intermediate runners go to Level 2

For advanced runners go to Level 3.

Throughout all training its important to increase your strength, speed and lung capacity. See our Strength section for reasons why resistance (or strength training is important). For increased speed every two weeks complete a 5km run, recording your time. Try to better your time each fortnight.

Also for increased lung capacity complete the following anerobic programme.

For a great recovery smoothie see the below recipe.
