Intro
This is a quick summary of Half Marathon Training Workout | 15km with race pace! from Flora Beverley. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.
Key Points
- Run structure: 14 km total, split into 4 km easy, 6.5 km at target half‑marathon pace (≈5:20 min/km), then 3.5 km easy back.
- Heat & hydration: Carry two 400 ml bottles, add electrolytes (e.g., Tailwinds) to avoid cramping and maintain performance in warm conditions.
- Training mindset: Use the run as a “prescribed‑pace” long run to lock in race effort, and treat it as a milestone in a 20‑week half‑marathon plan built in the Runner app.
- Gear tip: A snug running pack (new Silvera pack) keeps food, water, and phone secure without bounce – ideal for longer trail runs.
Workout Example
Total distance: ~14 km (7 km out, 7 km back)
1️⃣ Warm‑up: 4 km at a comfortable conversational pace.
2️⃣ Main set: 6.5 km at target race pace – aim for 5:20 min/km (adjust to your own half‑marathon goal pace).

Tips while running:
- Hydrate every 15‑20 min; sip electrolyte drink.
- Use a watch or timer to stay on pace for the 6.5 km block.
- If it’s hot, start a few seconds slower and gradually settle into the target pace.
Closing Note
Give this split‑pace long run a try this week – tweak the distances and paces to match your own training calendar in the Pacing app. You’ll build confidence at race pace while staying fueled and comfortable. Happy running!
