A simple guide to running a Half-Marathon like a pro in 5 months!

I have designed a simple weekly running schedule for anyone who wants to get into running.

It is designed for beginners who have no experience in running whatsoever. I created it because students at EISB are currently training for the ČSOB Half Marathon and 10km race on 2nd April. This guide has helped support them in their preparations for the big day.

I have used expert advice from the internet, as well as including my own experience and preferences.
