The half marathon has become the fastest-growing race distance in the United States, both in terms of number of finishers and number of new races. Additionally, according to Running USA’s National Runner Survey, the half marathon is the favorite distance of both sexes. Mastering the Half Marathon is your guide to completing or even reaching personal records in one of the most popular running events. Author Cathy Utzschneider has been ranked fifth in the world in her age group and won seven USA Track and Field age-group titles since she started running competitively at age 40. In Mastering the Half Marathon, masters runners will benefit from the targeted approach that she has used to guide 46 national masters age-group champions.

This mini e-book begins with an introduction to the half marathon before moving into training workouts, plans, and tips. Included are 12-week training plans for both experienced and beginning runners. Mastering the Half Marathon also focuses on speed development, detailing information on exertion, fartlek training, threshold running, and interval running. The mini e-book concludes with strategies for race day, including pacing, and fueling during and after the race.

Mastering the Half Marathon is an abridged version of Cathy Utzschnider’s Mastering Running (Human Kinetics, 2014), which provides information and advice on topics that matter most to older runners, proving that age is no obstacle to excellence.
