 
Hal Higdon’s name is synonymous with running. As contributing editor of        Runner’s World and best-selling author, he has helped        countless runners achieve their distance goals. Now, he’s created the        definitive guide on today’s most popular distance, the 13.1-mile half        marathon.     
Hal Higdon’s Half Marathon Training is everything you        wanted to know about running the half marathon, including where to        begin, what to focus on, how to pace yourself, how to avoid injury, how        to track your progress, how to stay the course, and how to improve.        Whether this is your first or fiftieth half marathon, there is a plan        for you.     
       Inside you’ll find more than 15 customizable programs, ranging from        novice to advanced (you’ll even find a walking-only plan), as well as        proven strategies, race-day tips, and motivation from half-marathoners        around the globe. From day 1 to mile 13.1, Hal will guide, encourage,        and pace you to your goal.
