Intro

Here’s a breakdown of Half Marathon Race Pace Training Run 1.27.58!! from The FOD Runner. It’s worth watching—we’re walking through the key elements so you can tackle this workout right away. Check the full video for additional details.

Key Points

• This threshold/tempo run maintains race‑pace effort over 10+ miles (≈16 km).
• Build up to a steady ~6:40 min/mile (≈4:09 min/km) pace and sustain it through most of the run, starting easier first.
• An early hill (first mile) replicates race terrain and develops strength.
• Strong at mile 10? You can push further—the creator extended to 12 miles and ran a full 13.5‑mile half‑marathon in 1:27:58.
• Practical tip: Open conservatively, give your body time to settle, then dial in your target pace once ready.
• Let how you feel guide whether to go beyond the planned distance.

Workout Example

Warm‑up: 1‑2 mi easy jog

Main set (10‑12 mi):
- Miles 1‑3: Easy start, aim for ~19:30 for 3 mi (≈6:30 / min mile) to get into rhythm.
- Miles 3‑10: Settle into **6:40 / mi** (≈4:09 / km) steady pace. Keep effort steady; if hills appear, maintain effort, not speed.
- Mile 10‑12 (optional): If feeling strong, add 1‑2 mi at the same pace or a slight negative split (slightly faster) to chase a PB.

Cool‑down: 1 mi easy jog

Closing Note

Try this race‑pace threshold workout, adjust the paces to match your own recent race pace in the Pacing app, and discover your ceiling. Keep the momentum going, savor the run, and hunt down that next PR!
