Half Marathon Training Schedule

Home : Schedules

Noel and Ken will be running the Half Marathon half marathon training group this year. Runs will be informal with distances progressively increasing to help you achieve the 13.1 mile goal that is the Bedford Harriers Half Marathon. Everyone is welcome, from recent starters with the club to old hands.

These Saturday runs will generally be steady runs. As a group we will run at the slowest pace with group etiquette so that faster runners come back regularly. It is assumed that you will be running in the week with your regular group or doing equivalent runs.

All runs will start at 9am at the stadium unless otherwise advised (please note this is earlier than originally posted). Look out for updates on the forum or on the notice board.
