"Injury Prevention and Strength Training for Half Marathon Runners"

To prepare for a half marathon, incorporating strength training into your routine is crucial for improving tissue capacity and withstanding the forces sustained during race training. During the base-building phase, focus on total-body workouts with 3-4 sessions per week, gradually increasing weight and reps. In the training cycle, adjust to 2-3 strength workouts per week, incorporating heavier loads and plyometric moves. During the taper, maintain 1-2 strength workouts per week with reduced volume and intensity. Pay attention to soreness and adjust your program accordingly, and remember to prioritize rest and recovery.
