If i am Training For Half - Marathon ... Must i run 2 time per day to improve .. of Course got rest 1 to 2 dy?

Answer 1

I don't understand why you would run twice a day. That seems to put undue stress and you waste a lot of time warming up and cooling down. Just run once per day and try to peak near race time. Do go easy the week before the race.

Answer 2

The only time you should train twice a day would be if your body is prepared for it. This would be if you have been training for years. It's better to keep a schedule with 1 run a day 4-6 days a week. If not, the chances are good that you will injure yourself. Coolrunning.com has some good running tips for beginners to advanced runners for the 5k run all the way up to the marathon. I have run 5 marathons and 6 hals-marathons and have never run 2 a days.

Answer 3

Not at all. One run a day is plenty, as long as it is done right. I run marathons and train 4-5 days a week, but only once per day.

Im sure the elite marathoners may do more, but unless you're looking to break world records, once a day is fine.

Answer 4

A half marathon defineitly does NOT require two-a-days. In fact, doing two-a-days is not even recommended for a full marathon! Find a book or coach or trainer or website to help you set up a training program.

www.nikerunning.com has plans for beginnger to experts, Runner's World always has plans and there are tons of books at the library and bookstores.

Good luck!

Answer 5

No, you just need to set up a realistic training schedule that will allow for a reasonable build up phase that is probably 5 days a week. Check out one of them at www.RunnersWorld.com and don't increase your weekly mileage over 10% each week. The longer run should normally come on the weekend with about 14-15 miles as your longest effort. You don't necessarily need to do speed work unless you want to run a fast time and have prior experience at thias 13.1 mile distance.
