    HMP = half marathon pace

    LSD  is normally LSR which means long slow run.  Focus on distance and focus on doing it slowly..  Can't remember what LSD actually stands for (though I read it in a book only on Monday!)  Something like Long Slow Duration run...  but it definitely means long slow run (about 100-130s per mile slower than your HMP

    Half marathon pace
    Long slow distance

    Seems there are two paces in this beginner's schedule - the pace you hope to run your half marathon at, and a slower pace for tackling longer runs.

    Long slow distance.. of course!

    When I read it, I thought it didn't really make sense.  When we speak, we'd never put the adjectives in that order! 

  • HI

        Can anyone help me please, I am doing a half marathon in October, although I thought my training was going really well for a novice (only running since April) I have hit a 4 mile block, I get to the 4 and I feel I can't run anymore... my previous runs are between 3 and 11 miles and never had this problem before any comments would be greatly welcomed
