In my half marathon training I've tested different ways of approaching it and found what works very well for me.
In this video I run through the most important training principles you need to know when you're looking at how to train for a half marathon. I've used these principles to run faster times since and will continue using them in the future.

Love your style, You tube lucky to have such an honest person.. Thanks 🙏🏻

Straight to the point vid. Congrats for the outstanding results for your age and years of running experience. Well done!
-
Thank you for sharing - its refreshing to see simplicity and clearly you go by how you are responding to life rather than following a strict plan. Its not simple and relies on a lot of experimenting and intuition.
-
Thanks Patrick, great sharing about your training principles. Please keep up your awesome effort in your training and channel. Truly inspired by you! Look up to you and train with you as a fellow 42YO runner.

Congrats on 1,000 subscribers, Patrick! Thanks for the videos.

Definitely an anomaly in terms of progress and probably athletic potential, but you've built on the fundamentals extremely well. Great work. See you on a start line some day!
-
Wow! What a natural talent you are! Great to see you putting in the work to improve with a well rounded training plan. There are no shortcuts in running! Keep pushing!

Practical and applicable advices backed up with personal facts!👌 Great video.
-
Thank you Patrick! I learned so much!

Awesome videos! they always resonated with my views on running. Last week i did not stick to these principles and did a tempo run (maybe a day i was not feeling my best) and got a severe pain on my left knee. Now i recovered and restarted running by feeling hoping to build up mileage… Thanks for your tips!!
-
Brilliant! Thank you. So helpful to silence that noise and worry by just going out there steady paced and injecting a bit of pace/speed in those sessions.
-
Great video! I would honestly even go so far as to call it eye-opening for me. Thanks a lot!!
-
you had a good physical capability to start with hence your easy runs are that fast. Well done!! Keep inspiring!! thanks for the info.!
-
essentially if running performance was a meal... 'consistent high mileage' would be the steak... everything else is a debate over the sauce/seasoning :)
-
That’s insane man. Well done.
-
Your running achievements in just 3 years are incredible! It's a bit intimidating for beginner runners like me to see your pace. Could you share some insights on how you started out? I'm curious about your training frequency, distances, and pace at the beginning. Thanks!"
-
Happy to find this Patrick!! Been giving you loads of kudos on your 'morning runs' and thinking what on earth does this involve then each time 😂 catch you at a race again sometime!!
-
keep up the video Patrick!

Incredible 👏 really enjoyed that

I'm in my week 5 of my half marathon training and had my slowest pace run today. I was a bit discouraged since it felt a real struggle today. But thank you for reassuring us that not all sessions can be a good run for whatever reason like "life happens". What counted was that I was out there running. Thank you.
