FIRST - Congratulations!!!
You will officially join the elite group of approximately 2 million people who finish a half marathon annually in the United States.
More fun facts from Getnux: more than 60% of the 2 million participants are women.
The average time for male finishers is 2:06:37, while female finishers have an average time of 2:16:02.
Additionally, 67% train for at least 3 months to prepare for their race.
85% use GPS watches to track training progress
73% incorporate strength training into their routine
61 % run with a partner
15.6% enter as part of relay teams
66 % pursue personal records when they participate in races
These facts show that the sport is popular and has become increasingly competitive over recent years due to its growing number of dedicated athletes striving to achieve personal best each year.
Let's Go!
Step 1:
Get your shoes & other gear ready. (no cotton socks, hydration, etc.)
Follow St George Running Store; they always have great advice.
Get your friends to join you!
Or join meet up with the Running Group.
(Do you think I should start one just for this group training for Snow Canyon?!?!)
Step 2:
Find a great 3-mile course - do a "race" on that course. Record all your data: pace, heart rate, and how you felt. More details on the 30-minute time trial are here. (Be ready to see improvement over the next 12 weeks!)
You may want to do *Lactate testing with PR Performance Lab, which will help you know your exact zones. More on that here.
Step 3:
Print the calendar and post it where you can see it daily. Mark off each day to you. Make notes about how each run feels! If you have a GPS watch, program the training into the watch.
Step 4:
Know that this is a guideline—you do not have to follow it exactly. If you like long runs on Sundays, do it. If you like Speed work on Mondays, do it.
You can move things around to make it all fit in your life!
Step 5:
Know that PR Performance Lab is here for you!

This 8-week program is designed just for the downhill runner.
Yes! That is you!
The Snow Canyon Half course drops almost 2000' in that 13.1 miles!
Let's make sure your legs are ready for that!
This is best if starting from the first for the 12-week program. Just 2 times a week.
