Description
Scranton Half Marathon Training Program
The Scranton Half Marathon Training program is designed to PROGRESSIVELY build longer distances. There is a Running Program, Galloway Walk Run Program and a Walking Program.
The Running Program will have paces range from 9:00 min mile thru 13:00 min mile. The training runs include speed workouts and tempo runs structured to improve overall speed, endurance, and strength while running.
The Run Walk Program allows runners to determine their own desired running pace while scheduling regular walk breaks at strategic intervals. For example, a beginner might start with a run-to-walk ratio of 30 second run to 30 second walk for the duration of the workout.
The Walking Program is strictly walking and designed for someone who wants to be active and healthy and has chosen a half marathon as their next distance goal.
Please Read
In order to join the Running Program, you MUST CURRENTLY BE ABLE TO RUN 3 MILES WITHOUT ANY WALKING WHILE EASILY MAINTAINING A 13:00 MIN MILE. This is for safety reasons since we will be running through the streets of Scranton. If you can't yet run 3 miles while EASILY maintaining that pace, we suggest you join the Galloway Run Walk Program or the Walking Program so that you can build your stamina at an appropriate pace.
