Good afternoon.

I practice running since September. I ran 10 km in 1:09 yesterday in Sochi. My best result so far ... It was very hard race.

I can not figure out how to train further. Should I increase the running distance or just try to break the 1 hour limit.

My goal is endurance development and 21 km race in the long term.

Thank you for the opportunity to know the answer.

Greetings!

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on setting a personal record!

Though this result may seem far from the best to someone, I have a different opinion on this topic. This is your personal best and starting point for further growth.

I don’t know if you underwent a medical examination to know whether you are healthy enough for running, but if you decided to train for a half marathon, I would recommend you to do it. At least you should undergo an electrocardiogram at rest and under load and get your blood and urine tested. If there are no contraindications, you can continue training.

A training plan for endurance development, in my opinion, may look like this:

- Four running sessions a week

- Three running sessions in the aerobic zone with a pulse not higher than 145 beats per minute

- One interval or tempo running session (preferably under control of a trainer)

- General physical preparation

To achieve the greatest effect from the training process, it is necessary to control the heart rate while you exercise. You should not ignore the state of extreme fatigue and adhere to the plan at all costs. You can minimize the risk of injuries by choosing the right shoes and appropriate running surface.

These are very brief and fairly general recommendations. The training plan should be individual, but I tried to be as helpful as possible considering this communication format.

Half-Marathon under 1:48
Question:

Good afternoon.

In May I ran my first half-marathon, the result was 2:01:13. In September it was 1:56:16.

  1. What is the perfect running volume provided that my goal is to run a sub-1:48 half-marathon?
  2. Is it necessary to include a long run in my training plan and how long should it be?

Thank you.

How to Increase Stamina and Is Abdominal Breating Important?
Question:

Good afternoon.

I run 10 km 4 times a week just to be in a good shape and health. My pace is about 6:30 and I want to increase my stamina to run longer without fatigue and short of breath.

What exercises should I do? Do I need do short sprints?

The second question: is abdominal breathing so important? When I practice it I feel dizzy.

There are no parks near my house so I have to run on asphalt or across the field. Besides shock absorbing running shoes what else do I need to protect my knees? Should I use a special running technique in this case?

Thank you.
