DISCLAIMER: I title these kinds of "long training talks kinds of videos' very specifically to my best PR times (times that I may never improve upon honestly as this one happened almost exactly 10 years ago!) But I do video titles like "How to run a sub 14:30 5km" or "how to run a sub 30-minute 10km" over the years because I know specific details make for good KZitem titles. I also know that most of you are simply looking to improve upon (or finish your first half marathon) time or experience distance running. Maybe you're looking to crack 2 hours or 1:45 or 1:30 for a half marathon? Maybe you already run 1:02 though and are finishing way ahead of me! In any case racing and training for distance races is hard no matter what your specific time goal or PR is - going the distance is already hard enough and an amazing accomplishment! What I hope with these talks is that you can see a bit "behind the training process flow" and see how different kinds of workouts (from Tempo Intervals to Long Runs and aerobic based training) can help improve your fitness and speed over time. Maybe you can learn from some of my past training and racing mistakes as well (or at least just laugh at me 🤣!). In any case, keep up the great work, thanks for following along, and hope your running is going well... #AnySurfaceAnyDistance !

That exact race is still my PR at 1:44:39 when I was 39 years old. Using your plan, I am attempting another PR at 50 years old at the same race in 3 weeks (I live near New Orleans). Praying for great weather. So far, I have hit every workout on your plan and have hit the time goals for my goal pace. Per Garmin, my VO2 Max and LT have improved a good bit. My aerobic HR/pace has improved a lot as well. And I know that I am running faster. It will be tough, but I will give it my all. Keep up the great videos!

I did this video because half marathons are probably the most popular distance running event ever in the US nowadays. And specific thread titles with my PRs are generally viewed well (i.e. "how to run a sub 15-min 5km" or a "sub 30-min 10km). Note I have done training talks over the years like. "sub 1:30 half marathon"...check out the playlist.

last time I ran a flat out half race was at Big Sur (kinda hilly) in 2015....I think it was like a 1:0640. However, I did run a couple sub 2:20 marathons around then...including CIM later that year and would usually split around 1:08-1:09 at the Half -way mark (i.e at Boston, Houston a few times in the last couple of years). To be honest I'm not really interested in racing half marathons on the road anymore (unless it's to try to OTQ again for something). My PR will probably stay 1:04:32 from 10 years ago...and that's fine with me! Cracking 1:05 was really, really hard for me and took years of focus. My sponsors mainly sponsor me to go Mountain-Ultra-Trail running these days and while I'd love to show up at the Boston or NYC marathon again and have a crack at top 20 or another sub 2:20 (but mainly to meet you guys!), I'd also love to try to place on the podium at something like UTMB or actually run a decent 100-miler!

traditional Vo2max workouts usually involved longer repeats (like 800m-1km) around 5km pace. However, 16 x 400m could have some element of Vo2max kind of training (it would usually involve more like 3km race pace and a pretty short rest). It could also be quite anaerobic and very hard. But it all depends on the speed/intensity you run the 400m reps at as well as the rest break in-between each.
