Week #4 Training For Las Vegas
Group Training, Half Marathon Training, Las Vegas Half Marathon, Run, Walk October 3rd, 2007Hey runners, how are you doing? We are over half way to the half marathon distance. Our mileage is increasing a little bit more each week.
Last week the intermediate runners ran between 6-7 miles for their long run. Beginners ran closer to 6 miles. Great job everyone!
This week intermediate runners long run will be 7-8 miles. Beginners will run 7 miles. We are slightly off track from the workout plan, you may have noticed. Don’t worry though, we are on track to meet our goal. The goal of the long run is to train your body aerobically, that means 65-75% of Max HR. The pace should be 60 to 75 seconds slower that 10K time. The pace should feel easy.
As the weather starts getting unpredictable, you may want to bring layers of clothing for running. Long sleeve technical shirts work well, when layer underneath a rain jacket. Hats and gloves help keep you warm and dry. Read about What to wear.
You may also want to bring water with you. Staying hydrated is important. Read about proper fueling.

A lot of people are asking if they can run with us. The answer is yes, but I am only coaching runners who are signed up for the Las Vegas Half Marathon, so our running is geared towards completing a half marathon in December. That means that we will increase our mileage by about 1 mile or so each week. You are welcome to join us, just know that you are responsible for your health and wellbeing.
I'm Lisa Sabin. I am a personal trainer and a dedicated runner. I will be providing free online personal training for a select group of runners training for the Las Vegas Half Marathon this December.

[...] Today I did my first long run since my Ironman a couple weeks ago. The plan was to run at 8:00/mile pace. I met up with the Las Vegas Marathon training team for our weekly long run. Most of the team is training to run the Half Marathon and so their goal was 7 miles… at about a 9:30/mile pace. [...]
