Intro

Want to know more about “ROAD to READING EP 2 | Tough interval session in terrible weather!” from Run4Adventure? We’ve pulled the essentials here—everything needed to run this workout today. Watch the full video for added details and context.

Key Points

• Four 10-minute intervals at your predicted half-marathon pace (6:15–6:20 min/mile, marathon effort)
• Two minutes of active recovery jog between each repeat
• Warm-up: about 4 miles at easy pace (8:30–8:45 min/mile), followed by 5–6 strides and a short activation
• Trick for the mind: start each interval 30–45 seconds quicker (about 5:50 min/mile), then settle back into target pace—keeps you mentally sharp
• The weather was rough (headwind and rain)—use those conditions to toughen up your mental resilience

Workout Example

Warm‑up: 4 mi easy (8:30–8:45 min/mi) + 5‑6 strides

Repeat 4 times:
  • 10‑min at 6:15–6:20 min/mi (start first 30‑45 sec at ~5:50 min/mi)
  • 2‑min active jog recovery

Cool‑down: 2‑3 mi easy jog + stretch

Use your Pacing app to personalize these paces for your half-marathon goal.
