Base Training

     One of the most important parts of running a half marathon is the base training that comes in the early months. Having good base training allows for runners to easily transition into the faster and more intense workouts that come in the later months. We will be starting our base training after Thanksgiving and going through January. This will allow us to peak at NIRCA Road Nationals on April 5th, where we will be competing in the half marathon. Below are some base training guidline for you to follow through January. Effort on these runs should be comfortable, but not too slow. Sunday runs may be a bit more relaxed.
