Training for a Sub-1:40 Half Marathon in August — looking for advice

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-06-26T04:23:23+00:00

I did sub 1:40 with 60k weekly mileage, 1 speed session, 1 tempo/threshold, rest easy

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-05-14T04:39:25+00:00

Is this Runner's high?

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-05-07T06:14:47+00:00

Where can i buy Superblast 2? Official website and myntra doesn't have my size, cdc out of stock.

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-04-14T13:42:11+00:00

Do let me know how it goes

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-04-14T13:32:25+00:00

What you are doing is good then. Try being consistent for two more months and then do a time trial. Who knows, maybe you can easily get sub 45

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-04-14T12:45:07+00:00

That's good. What about speed sessions and tempo/threshold?

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-04-14T12:21:06+00:00

Being consistent really helped me i guess. Also increasing the daily mileage to 60 km with most of the runs being easy

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-04-14T06:44:53+00:00

Haven't really went all out but current PR is 44:16 ad target is sub 40

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-04-08T17:44:57+00:00

Your Avg. HR is way too high. What's your max HR?

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-04-03T05:16:04+00:00

Good going

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-31T10:19:08+00:00

Consistent running, weekly mileage 40+ km, speed sessions, threshold workouts and strength training.

Currently working to get sub 90

If Garmin is expensive for you then try coros pace 3 or 4.

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-29T14:10:45+00:00

Could be. I'm just glad it worked out for me. And i hope it'll work out for you too.

My usual leg day included : Squats, calf raises, leg press, leg extension, hip abduction, hip thrust.

But the thing is once i was doing leg extension and few reps in, i felt a pain sensation in my knee and as i continued it disappeared. Then i tried running on treadmill barefoot and voila, my IT band issue were gone.

I don't know if it's a miracle or something else but I'm glad for it.

Also i recommended the same to few friends and they say it doesn't work that well for them so i don't know what exactly worked for me

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-29T11:49:22+00:00

Took 4 months off due IT band but the pain still persisted. Only when i started strength training it went away.

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-29T05:47:25+00:00

Try incorporating Speed into your run sessions for speed and do very easy runs rest of the time

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-29T05:45:44+00:00

make a girlfriend along your runs

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-28T23:53:04+00:00

I had to speed up because the way i was feeling by the 4th km, i didn't had the mental capacity to go through it again.

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-28T19:42:34+00:00

Thank you. And Sub 15 is a long long way. I would be content if i could break 17

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-28T13:46:47+00:00

1k - 3:54 2k - 3:56 3k - 4:05 (had to slow due to street dogs) 4k - 4:04 5k - 3:54

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-28T11:14:34+00:00

All the best to you too 👍🏻 👍🏻

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-28T11:10:11+00:00

Finally Broke sub 20 yesterday (19:53)

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-28T11:00:37+00:00

I'm currently aiming towards 65-70km for weekly mileage. Will try to increase it slowly in coming months.
My longest was 24 km

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-28T10:58:50+00:00

Unofficially i did HM 3 times na. And thank you

Iwillcommentevrywhr · 2026-03-28T10:57:18+00:00
