5 Tips to Run Your Best Half Marathon

[@jorgeespinosa910]

Long time youtube member, first comment ever on a video. This is the best channel ever. I have to say that the pulling exercise was really helpful, felt like I was massaging my quads and hamstrings, specially in the later miles. I was able to shave time off my pace just by doing that alone. I started running last September without really knowing anything, your videos have given very valuable information, please keep the videos coming. I am 43 years old and never thought I would ever run 13.2 miles in less than 2 hours. THANK YOU!

[@TheRunExperience]

Thats amazing, Jorge! Thank you so much for sharing your story! We are so glad you found us.

[@Red-gy9gx]

Am the solo person, i get up early in run by myself, i want to run with others but none of my friends like running, and the ones who do live out of state or 2 hours away lol. I coach myself to my first 2 hr. Half marathon last year. This year i found the run experience so... Am not alone ,Thanks so much!

[@TheRunExperience]

It takes some serious dedication when you're doing most of your runs solo- way to go! Any chance there are local running groups near you? A running store or local facebook group might provide some great new running partners :)

[@Red-gy9gx]

@@TheRunExperience there is a running group near me but there schedule dosent work with mines. But maybe i can talk with people and fine someone that willingly to run with me sometimes, thanks again, love your videos !

[@DarthBudhha]

I think this the best channel I've come across for beginners (which I am) who have just started to take their running more seriously ...great work guys (y)

[@TheRunExperience]

So awesome to hear that! We're glad to be here for you as you break into this amazing world of running.

[@abnormalbunt]

hi everyone ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to improve your running distance try Sarparder Running Expert Starter (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy got great results with it.

[@aal-e-ahmadhussain3123]

To summarise, on a weekly basis work on: 1) Form - do drills weekly during long/steady-pace runs, especially Pulling Drills, and also set aside 10minutes for Hill Sprints at least once per week. 2) Strength - work on full body strength with good posture and especially incorporate Walking Lunges and also Jumping Lunges at 5x1minute sets of each (twice weekly). 3) Injury Prevention - foam roll after every run, try to stretch key areas before you sleep, and definitely stretch full body on rest days between runs.

[@krisscherrer1815]

Just ran my 3rd half and I'm going to have a whole year to prep for my next and will be putting all of these things in my training. Thanks for all of this great content!

[@TThompson79]

I agree, this really is the best channel on youtube for beginner and intermediate runners. There is so much information provided in a very digestible fashion. The video on mechanics drastically improved my cadence from 140's to 180's +

[@TheRunExperience]

Thanks so much- glad the videos have been helpful!

[@GreyJedi17]

I am so grateful for this. Thank you THE RUN EXPERIENCE coaches

[@rhondaferranti208]

Thank you so much for this video it is what I needed to hear and do to strengthen my legs. I'm looking forward to my first half marathon coming up

[@sharonduffy7053]

Love TRE! Signed up for my first half marathon in the middle of September.

[@bretstevens262]

Thank you for awesome video! The Run Experience gives the best running form videos ever!

[@mexiaznann]

This is so amazing! Running the Waco/Magnolia Farm race in April and totally needed this!

[@qrobinso]

Awesome advice. Especially the Runner Community part. The other things I don't do or do enough either. Thanks for being part of my coaching committee.

[@DAdam-fo1md]

Best channel I saw. Thank you so much!

[@joulesja]

[@nonhlemasikane3261]

hi thank you so much I am definitely going to try all this on my training this afternoon, ill come back with a feedback.

[@kayvernchardnys.michael-209]

Would like to get some knowledge of how to recovery after running half marathon and when should I start training again after the recovery. Thanks.

[@jimdelong987]

This is one of your best videos, thanks!

[@gcor8623]

Awesome videos great tips to follow.

[@navjyot_ironman]

Very good advice. I have ran 6 half marathons but all around 2:20 to 2:25 time. I want to break 2 hrs. How to do it ?

[@Glauberoliveira1409]

Just increase the number of days you run per week and try to drop weigh.

[@RAJKUMAR-ui8wo]

REALLY FASCINATING AND INTERESTING. MINUTE DETAILS ARE OF IMMENSE IMPORTANCE,SPECIFICALLY THE STANDING EXERCISE TIPS

[@ranadaouk6932]

I can not say how much i like your videos

[@garybrown9719]

? Are static stretches good for all? My last job working at a grain store facility had a 160' tower with stairs andl ladders. And was running 50- 70 miles a week Really miss the stairs and ladders seem to help my hips Hurt my knee last year now I'm lucky to get 20 miles a week in Stretching is hard static stretches are very hard for me rolling and active streach work best injured my back as a child and have only been was able to touch when I was 19--35 whiegh lifting with active starches seems to be the only way to increase my flexibility.

[@usa0179]

Hi! First I want to thank you for the video, very helpful. I am fairly new to running (about a year in) and want to do my first half marathon. You stated in video that hill running is advised as part of training. I live in an area where there aren’t any hills. What can I do to instead? I really want to do this right and be ready for when the marathon comes. Please advise.

[@TheRunExperience]

Do you have access to a treadmill? Perfect for knowing the exactly how steep of a hill you're running! If not, how about a freeway overpass that has a sidewalk or a dedicated pedestrian overpass?

[@usa0179]

The Run Experience thank you so much for the suggestions! Keep the videos coming! :)

[@vishwanathanp3117]

Hello Run Experience... It has just been wonderful to be watching all these informative videos in your channel. I have just started off with a challenge to complete 480 kms of running this June. I have not done anything even close to these numbers. My max mileage in a calender month till date is 250 km of Run / Walk. Also I am not a very seasoned runner, by best half marathon timing is 2 hrs 36 mins (I completed it nonetheless). How would you suggest to complete this 480km challenge in 30 days. I Run only in the mornings, I thought I would do 20 km for 24 days with 1 day per week off. I would like to know of this strategy is right or would you advise something else.

[@murshizimahadzir8459]

Thanks info

[@annecoleman5502]

How do I download the half marathon training guide? Nothing happens when I click on the link TY

[@bajan2u]

What advice do you have for someone who is heavy but like running..

[@lizzierunliftbreathe]

While I am foam rolling my calves, I feel pain. so, I try and work out the area I feel the pain and eventually (after a minute or more) the pain goes away. Am I doing this right?

[@TheRunExperience]

Indeed! And the more you can make a habit of it, the less pain there will be in the first place! Try and hit the foam roll AFTER your run on run days.

[@DP-gx4dr]

Hi I'm practicing on my 1st marathon and i feel it in my knees and lower part of my back. Do I need to eat or drink something? Also I like your videos...

[@swordofhonor2]

hi guys. I found out I have a small hernia in my lower ab. never bothered me before until I was training for my half marathon. my abs feel sore and if I cough it hurts.... any tips on what to do or not to do?

[@金可文]

Great video!

[@kierstinmarieleavitt2967]

Hey guys! I have a question I was hoping you could help me out with. I’m training for my first half. It is May 5. I have been running for 9 years but this is the longest race I’ve ever done. The 12 week training plan I’m on has an 11 mile run scheduled for today and a 12 mile run next Saturday. However I have been having some bad shin splints. Is it better to push through my last two long runs to build up mileage or rest to try and alleviate some pain? I don’t want to lose any of the endurance I’ve been building

[@danielchaplin4910]

Hi, what I was wondering is, can I share a very inspirational story with you all, I am a half marathoner, and I have completed 26 half marathons, and am trying to become the first person with Down syndrome, to complete a half marathon in 50 states

[@chrisnortcliffe3663]

Hi can you help me please I am doing a run for Alzheimer's on 8th may it is 13 miles I have never run b4 I am new to it all I have bin running for about 3weeks but I keep getting pains in my knees is it normal please

[@ShankarChelluri]

Doing my first half marathon at Airtel Hyderabad Marathon on Aug 20, undergoing 16-week training program. Tend to feel tired after 10 kms, tend to gasp for breath or feel my throat go dry and cannot increase pace. Am doing 7.45-8.05 minute/KM despite training, how do I increase cadence & speed - am 49 years old..

[@TheRunExperience]

I'd give our 30 Day Challenge a look: therunexperience.com/training-plans/30-day-challenge It will walk you through how to slowly build your stamina and distance without getting injured.

[@CeliaCavalli]

“I may have a wine bottle with me” 😂🤣

[@xanderbastiaansen5579]

Nate, do you think a PB attempt at a 10K race would have an adverse effect on a running a good HM (another PB?) one week later?

[@Glauberoliveira1409]

Definitely it is good idea to run a 10 k Race ( PB ) 15-30 days before your HM, since you don't leave your training plan for the HM ( specially the long runs ).

[@xanderbastiaansen5579]

@@Glauberoliveira1409 thanks, indeed 15 to 30days is better than just 1 week. I did PR at the 10k but got injured 4 days later, skipped the HM. Ran another HM just 15s above PB in adverse weather about 3weeks after the 10K, which to me felt as good as a PB.

[@chhotondasgupta5787]

Hi! I did a half Marathon on Sunday. I had a good cooling down session and felt good through out the day and on Monday. Due to some job commitment, I missed the recovery run/walk. From Tuesday I’m having quite a bit of pain in left knee, Patella to be precise. It is improving, but I want to have a recovery plan. Can you help pl? Thanks

[@TheRunExperience]

Could just be a little residual impact. I wouldn't worry until a week from now. Keep rolling out, mobilizing and maybe throwing in a 1-2 mile shakeout run if you can :)

[@chhotondasgupta5787]

The Run Experience Thanks a lot! Regards

[@letstudy2day]

is completing half marathon can be consider yourself as marathoner?

[@monikaaldelime2132]

Hi. I am running my first half marathon on1.July. I would like to ask you, I usually training 5-6 times a week. How many days off should I have before Sunday next week.? Thank you

[@TheRunExperience]

I'd include at least 1 (maybe 2) rest days next week. Keep your general training schedule the same but take the volume of that training down to a tapering level. Some good videos on that here on the channel!

[@dtrjones]

Good video but I don't like the jumping lunges, they are too impactful on the knee. Wouldn't it be much better if you stay in the same spot and go up and down slowly, adding weights to challange you once you get proffient. That's something you could do in one place with the rest of the strength activities and doesn't add any more unecessary strain on the knee. Just my 2 cent.

[@garybrown9719]

High knee butt kicks kids have fun doing this I'll have to try 10 on left X 10 On rt
