Anyone can run a half marathon. It just takes practice and the right gear. And a resilient mindset. Use our whey protein products to help build that great lean muscle needed for running.
Get good running shoes
Start by getting comfortable running shoes, the rest of your gear is less important. It pays to go to a running specialist store, where they can assess your running gait and ensure you have the best type of shoe. Running in ill-fitting shoes can give you long-lasting injuries.
Create a schedule
Create your schedule. It should be two days of running 2 miles separated with 20-30 minutes on the cross-trainer. Day 4 is also the cross-trainer. Take a day off and then run 3 miles. Repeat each week but add a mile to the end of the week run every time.
Within 12 weeks you’ll be ready and capable of running the half marathon! Adding in strength training will help to increase your speed, but it’s not essential to completing the half marathon.
