Half Marathon Training Lessons Learned

Half marathon training can be a struggle especially when you are not getting faster or you are constantly getting injured. Dr. Duane Scotti is an avid half marathoner, physical therapist and coach for runners and founder of Spark Healthy Runner and host of the Healthy Runner Podcast. In this video, Duane shares his 10 lessons learned from his latest half marathon training that led him to begin the journey of running his second marathon! Duane will tell you specifically how he been able to string together 2 straight half marathon training cycles getting nearly the same exact time: a 1:44:00 and a 1:44:08 shaving off two minutes plus from any of the 15 previous half marathon races over these past 6 years! More importantly, he is feeling the healthiest he has ever been as a runner, running more miles than he has ever run, and feeling stronger during these races. So much so he was able to kick at the end of the race to actually pass people and move up spots in his age group during the final 2 miles! Want to know what changed in his half marathon training?
