Sub Two Hour Half Marathon Training Guide

Sub Two Hour Half Marathon Training Guide

Imagine seeing the finish line up ahead, the clock time still starts with 01 and you KNOW this time, you’ll absolutely cross before it has a chance to switch over to 02.

Even better you’re smiling, nothing hurts and you already want to do it again. That’s the power of a good training guide! Don’t finish your next race wishing you’d had all the information you need to crack that PR goal.

This video is an example of the straight talk you’ll get inside the Sub Two Half Marathon training plan! I want you to succeed, but not at any cost. This is about training smarter, remembering to enjoy the process and becoming a better runner.

In my second race post knee surgery, I cracked the Sub Two Hour half marathon again. I am NOT a naturally fast runner. I am NOT the runner putting in massive mileage. I am NOT the runner who will hurl at the track to get results.

You don’t need to be either!! Be consistent. Follow the plan. Believe it works.

There is no magic number that makes you a real runner, but there is something satisfying about breaking what once seemed like a big barrier and for many runners that’s going from a 2 to 1 in their finishing time.

I provided thousands of articles on RTTF with running tips, but this is designed to save you the time of digging through them for the keys you need to see a 01 on the clock as you burst through the finish line.

Save time. Get focused. Nail the run.

There is a Method, not Magic, to achieve your goal.

Why this plan?

Stop struggling to reach your race day goals. Stop over training with workouts that are too intense and stop getting injured!

This guide will show you that getting to Sub Two is well within your reach and may simply require a few tweaks to what you’re already doing!! And with the videos I’ll be giving you the same pep talks and details that my 1-1 coaching clients receive when I’m creating their customized plans.

You’ll find yourself more easily incorporating tools to improve your hip, glute and core strength for better running and pain prevention. Meaning no matter what happens on race day, you’re going to improve and be a better runner.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • 12 Week Training Plan: Access anytime for any race.
  • Detailed workouts for speed and hills: Apply these tools in every race for better results.
  • Recommended Strength Training – Videos in bonus package of workouts, so there’s no more guessing what cross training will benefit your most.
  • Additional race day tips to hit your goal, having a coach ready to go when you.

This 18 page ebook is designed to guide you through the basics of hitting your new half marathon PR. I should probably tell you that I have a magic secret formula, but that’s not my style.

You know I’m always honest with you and that’s much of what you’ll find here. A detailed plan, along with videos to provide both motivation, the pep talks I’d give my 1-1 runners and strength training designed to compliment your run.

Can’t afford the custom plans and coaching that’s $200/month? No worries, I would never have even considered that for years in my own running! What I did know was I needed guidance and that’s where this can help you too.

If you feel confident in taking the plan and running, then the PDF is perfect for you! But if you want some of those additional tips, example workouts and details on why the plan is structured as it is then the full package of the PDF and videos will get you to the finish line with more confidence.

Amanda Brooks : Run Coach
A NEW PLAN DOESN’T FIX EVERYTHING. You might alr A NEW PLAN DOESN’T FIX EVERYTHING. You might already know what’s best for you, but aren’t doing it consistently. That’s the only way we really make changes.
.
A PLAN can help, but I often don’t think that’s step one to making lasting change.
//
HABITS AND ROUTINES✴️
-Eliminate the need to make decisions.
-Which reduces brain fatigue.
-Which increases your chance of success.
//
TINY HABITS✴️
This is the smallest step you can take towards your goal. Often so small it seems insignificant, but is easy to make it a habit.
🌟
That leads you to another tiny habit, then another and suddenly it’s just your lifestyle.
👆👆👆
When people ask how I easily kept off 35lbs for over 15 years, while enjoying pizza, taking rest days and not obsessing about food.
👇👇👇👇
When people ask how I stay motivated to run year round and rarely race. Tiny habits.
//
Day one isn’t eat perfect or run for an hour.
.
Day one IS drink a glass of water when I wake up. Put on my running clothes.
.
Day 30 is then more like after I drink my glass of water, I do 5 push ups. After I put on my running clothes, I do a 5 minute warm up.
//
SLOW PROGRESS IS BETTER THAN NO PROGRESS, it builds momentum and is sustainable.
❔❔❔
Have you ever practiced creating tiny habits???
1️⃣ WORD TO DESCRIBE YOUR RUNNING THIS YEAR? M 1️⃣ WORD TO DESCRIBE YOUR RUNNING THIS YEAR?
Mine... satisfying.
😊
1900 miles blows away previous years.
.
(swipe to see...because yes I love tracking.) Unfortunately I’m not positive what it was 2001-2007 because I wrote it on calendars.

SATISFYING
🥰I needed the long miles early on to process my business being thrown for a loop. Bye bye book tour and partnerships.
😊I needed it after that to get away from the news and pretend I wasn’t spending all day alone. Then as my business shifted again to keep ideas flowing.
🌲I loved the time outside to think, get lost in a comedy podcast or audiobook. Otherwise I’m at home working!
🤩Without a single race, I still checked a big goal off my list of running an ultra distance (solo was very interesting!).
//
I’ve seen some posts that make it seem like we’re wrong for talking about what we achieved this year.
.
It was a HARD FCKIN year for everyone, but guess what lots of years are. And not every year is great even without a pandemic.
//
For all the lows this year, I also worked my ass off to make some really good things happen. And I’m extra proud of that.
//
So let’s hear your word for fitness in 2020??

Hard, easy, strong, powerful, consistent, cleansing, relaxing, nature, grace, grit, grind, triumph, building...

At 7 I could sit in my hair it was so long.
At 10 we started perms.
At 16 I had a full mane of hair I loved.
At 20 I learned I have naturally curly hair 😂after years of perms as a kid.
At 25 I was going blonde blonde blonde.
At 29 I began losing hair and it got so brittle I had to chop it off, due to the hormone issues.😭
At 35 my hair started to recover (as did my body), but never like that mane I loved as a teen.
At 39 I got my first curly haircut! I’m still figuring it out, but was amazed at how it looked.
//
I don’t wear much make up, but I do admit to really caring about my hair and it was a tough time when it felt so unhealthy.
//
I’m still struggling to figure out this new curly style 😂but keep hearing from other curly girls ya just gotta stick it out. So we’ll see.

ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO RUN? Why don’t you just ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO RUN? Why don’t you just enjoy a day off? Don’t you feel guilty about the time apart?
//
Yes.
It makes me happy.
No, if I’m happy our time together is better.
👇👇👇
MY VIEW IS THIS...
❌If you aren’t working out because of food guilt
❌If you aren’t missing big moments because you must workout
✅If you enjoy it and it improves your day
✅THEN GO FORTH and don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for improving your mental and physical health.

❓Do you have guilt or get guilted about workouts for n holidays?❓
//
This has been my lifestyle so long that our families just know to expect that I’m gonna sweat. And of course, I’m lucky David wants this lifestyle too.
.
BUTTTTT I remember those first trips to David’s family, where it really threw them for a loop. They still find it weird, but I sneak out before everyone gets up or have gotten them to do family things like the rec center.
//
My best advice when asked has always been to try and calmly explain why it matters to you and then just go. They get over it or used to it.
🎁 🎄🕎
TAKE ANOTHER LITTLE PIZZA MY HEART 😂a reminder TAKE ANOTHER LITTLE PIZZA MY HEART 😂a reminder this holiday season that we all need to be loved differently...and pizza transcends all.
//
🍕Do you have a favorite local pizza place?🍕🍕
.
Yes, I knead to know for when we can travel again.
.
Here we fell in love in love with @saucyspizza and I wouldn’t be sad if I got it as a gift 😆
