Running one hour with 30 minutes and a 20 minutes recovery run.

I’m 66 years old and I run 3x a week. I want to run a half a marathon in March. What do you guys suggest for a training plan? I used the couch to 5K and the 10 K app. I loved it. They don’t have half marathon or marathon app. I try using the Nike and some others running app but they not as good as the couch to 5k app.

I was thinking of continuing my schedule and gradually increase my long run time and adding another run of intervals-running 4x a week.I google a running coach near me and found one coach online and they can help me with running plans for a fee.
So what should be my next move? Thanks in advance.

You've pretty much got it sorted with your own plan, are you targeting a time or just wanting to finish?

Personally, I just do what I feel like. I have a daily amount of milage, and I have a 1 day of week of rest and recovery. I throw in some speed work sometimes, and that has worked for me. I just make sure to watch for injuries. This is just me though, and it has worked for me. I do 50 miles a week personally, I am 20 though.

I am 67 and have been running for 50 years! Keep it up. I have a free running book and some great links if you like! What I learned in 50 years and 56 marathons (one win)= mile repeats once a week or every 10 days. You can still run the 1/2 marathon in this time of crisis. Just set your goal, you watch and go!!! lots more info if wanted [email protected]
