Training for a half marathon is NOT simply half the work of training for a marathon!

In many ways it can be tougher. Sure, you don't have to do quite such long runs but the pay off is that you have to run faster.

Well, of course you don't have to run faster, that's your choice. If you want to just 'get around' and don't care about your time then you're probably in the wrong place.

The iHalf gives you just 3 runs a week to complete, but each of them is designed to help you get the best out of your running. All sorts of people run half marathons each year, but this is a program for those who want to discover their limits.

This isn't about 'beginner, intermediate and advanced' here. Whatever level of ability or experience you have, we ALL have the potential to push ourselves beyond our perceived limits.

Plenty of people will just 'get around' your half marathon, but...

I'm talking about how you want to remember the experience

How you'll feel when you look back at your race and know that you gave it everything.

The satisfaction you'll get when you flick through your training diary and see how much you progressed in just 12 weeks.

The surprise you'll feel for weeks, months or even years to come, when you think about how fast you were able to run (hint: what you believe are your limits right now aren't even close).

In the iHalf, you don't just 'build up the mileage' and cross your fingers on race day.

In just 36 runs, the iHalf will challenge you to re-examine what you understand about running.

And you will earn an experience you'll always remember

What's so special about the iHalf?

This isn't any ordinary 'here's your schedule good luck with it' type of program. I've seen too many ambitious runners put everything into an inflexible one size fits all approach like that and come unstuck.

Blindly following the program without really understanding what it is they're trying to achieve

Being unable to flex and roll with the real world feedback you get from each run, understanding how to adjust pace to hit the right intensity.

Of course there are plenty of other ways to produce a satisfactory race.

But I'm guessing you want more than just a 'satisfactory race'.

You want to experience a sense of control, empowerment & progress with every run that you do.

A half marathon isn't just about the couple of hours of the race.

It's the journey you go on and the lessons you learn that give you the potential for that race.

The iHalf combines phases of hill training with threshold running, 'threshold +' and interval sessions, long SLOW runs.

Many runners are freaked out by the idea of running so slowly during their long runs but when they smash a 10k PB a month before the race they realise what kind of monster shape they've got into.

And that requires effort, so if you're not ready to dig deep, turn back now.

Otherwise...

How it all works

Clicking the Access links on this page take you a payment page, which will then automatically register you on the intelligent-running.com website.

Check your email for your username and password to access the site whenever you like and either read or download the information in there.

Of course you get to download the program itself, but there's heaps more besides.

Imagine having me on hand explain every single aspect of the program to you.

Well that's what I've done with explanatory videos and notes that cover just about everything you'll need to make the program work for you.

• All training sessions fully explained
• Body conditioning program to help get you strong and injury-free
• Nutrition guide
• Foam rolling and flexibility programs

I've trained enough people for the event to know that you will have many questions along the way.

• What should I eat?
• How can I stay focused?
• What if I have to miss a few sessions?
• How do I know if I'm on track to achieve my goals?
• Which core exercises should I be doing?
• How can I prevent frustrating injuries?
  

And there'll be dozens more, and without answers at your finger tips you're hanging your sizeable investment on a wing and a prayer.

Which is why the support you get with this program is so VITAL

It's not like information is thin on the ground with the iHalf, but when you do have questions like that you just ask 'em over on the forum.

Some runners join the iHalf JUST to gain access to this group, as it's grown to become a self-supporting community.

The only people who get to see the content are runners who have purchased the iMarathon, iHalf or i10 Project.

This means that not only will you be able to get advice and tips from runners who have previously completed the program, you'll meet other runners following the exact same program, possibly even training for the exact same race.

This is HUGELY powerful for motivation, as you'll never have those days where you're left feeling that you're the only one going through this.
