The app sounds great, I had looked at Hal Higdon plans when I was considering plans for my first marathon, wish id taken a closer look at the app as it seems really intuitive to adjust when you've not done runs etc. Great review, Suzie!

I have been using it for 6 months now. This is the plan I have followed that I have enjoyed the most. And yes it's very easy to use. Thanks for watching! You are going to do great in London!

These training programs - and their corresponding apps for those that have an app - are largely the same. They don’t actually tell you “how” to train to become a distance runner, they just tell you when, and how long to run to prepare for a race. I’ve been a distance runner for nearly 30 years and the most important part of training to become a distance runner is maintaining your motivation and inspiration. The schedules, cadences, and types of runs are nothing new. As I mentioned, there are hundreds of programs and they all effectively tell you to do the same thing. There are three key ingredients in my experience: 1. Choose something that motivates you and inspires you to help you mentally prepare for getting out there and finishing. 2. Diet - a lot of people overload on carbs when they’re training for long races, which is not the right approach. Your diet should consist mostly of protein and complex carbs like fruit and vegetables. 3. Yoga - especially yoga for the core - but even basic yoga poses will keep you nimble and prevent injuries. Another trick I have picked up is if you’re feeling too sore, or are not motivated to complete one of your runs, pick an alternative like cycling, or going to the gym and doing the elliptical machine. Finally, do your runs during the time of the day that’s best for you. If you’re not a morning person, I don’t recommend running in the morning because your motivation and inspiration we’re gonna be very low. I run in the evenings.

I would actually add motivation is intrinsic to one's self. External motivators have a limited impact on our actions.

Getting pregnant and running a half marathon have something in common, if you're over a certain age you're going to need a special plan. I see Hal has a few plans based on your current fitness but he is common among plans as most don't address age as having significance. No problem, old folks just listen to their bodies and make sure to crank up the heat slowly.

I am jot sure age pet se has a significance. I am in better shape now than when I was 17. I might not look like it, but I could beat the crap out of myself if I could travel in time. I kid you not 🙂🙂🙂

@@IRunThings but if you did get the running bug when you were 17 you'd have had unbound energy and would barely know what the word tired means.

I am using the free version. Ginger paid for one month to see if the added features were worth it.

I have just started using RunWithHal. Although when using the cross training feature, it counts towards your running average. For example, I cycled for 30 minutes which counted towards my run average, making it incorrect. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Won't this influence the overall plan and how it's structured if my running time is faster than it actually is?

Thanks for the help but I was able to contact support and they suggested a way to solve the issue. Simply just input the time you spent on cross training, allowing it to be a completed activity, but don't enter the distance.

@@harryking3488 nice! That is actually what I would have suggeatrd. When I switch trainings around. I input the training the day indicated even if I did it the day after. I am glad technical support gave you that option
