I am now 12 weeks away from participating in my first ½ marathon! My primary goal for which is to simply FINISH the race with ZERO INJURIES.

This post covers a few common training variables you’ll use/see in your training programs (frequency/splits, exercise selection, exercise order, reps and rest times).

In this post I’ll explain the different goals and expectations I’ve encouraged them to set for themselves so you can also set yourself up for a successful season at maintenance.
