Intro: Here’s a breakdown of Half Marathon Efforts In A Long Run Workout from The FOD Runner. Watch the full video for the details. Below is the structure so you can run this session this week.

Key points:

  • An aerobic base (60-minute easy run) followed by four 10-minute half-marathon-pace intervals with short recovery jogs.
  • On trails, use grade-adjusted pace. Target 6:00 min/mile on flat ground, then 6:15–6:20 min/mile on steeper terrain.
  • Focus on breath, posture, and perceived effort. Check the watch after each interval, not during.

Workout example:

  1. Warm‑up: 60 min easy running at a conversational pace.
  2. Main set: 4 × 10 min at half‑marathon effort.
    • Target pace: 6:00 min/mile on flat ground; 6:15–6:20 min/mile on trails.
    • Rest: 2 min easy jog or walk between each block.
  3. Cool‑down: easy jog or walk.

Tips:

  • Use interval mode on your watch so effort stays the focus. Check the split after each block.
  • Match pace to the ground. Don’t force a 6-minute mile up a hill.
  • Stay loose, focus on breath and form. It should feel hard but manageable.

Closing note: Try this long run this week, adjust paces to your fitness, and add it to the Pacing app.
