Training for half marathon
Discussion
What's the best way to train for a half marathon? I'd assumed it was simply get out regularly and run long distances until I can comfortably reach the 21km distance. But someone said to me that I should be working on stamina rather than aiming to increase distance, he said to run shorter distances but with a weighty rucksack instead as it'll improve muscle better than long distance running, is this a better way?
In the last year I've gone from no running at all to doing a 10km in under an hour. I reckon I could do a 10km in ~53 minutes if pushed myself, so now I've set myself the goal of a half marathon in September. My (current) goal is to do the 21km in <2h 15m.
