How Do You Complete A Half Marathon With Minimal Training?
You want to run a race and somehow, either on a whim of your own, or the prodding of others, you end up signed up for a half-marathon. Here is how you can make it through with little training and still manage to complete the half-marathon with a decent time. So you’ve entered the big race. Maybe you have 6 months, maybe 3 months, or maybe less – don’t panic! Just do any kind of cardio work-out for 30-minutes 3-4 days per week. It doesn’t matter if you just walk for that amount of time – you are doing something. And if you have to walk in the race at times, big deal! Get yourself some new running shoes – they don’t have to be top of the line. One year I ran a half-marathon in my hiking shoes and my knees are paying for it now. My brother on the other hand, has run marathons with hardly any training and he swears the shoes make a difference. Stretch. Stretch every day. It doesn’t take long, maybe 10-15 minutes only. The last thing you want is to pull something. Eat pasta the night before
