Tip: print out this schedule and use a thick marker to cross off each day; don’t break the chain of “X”s! Next step: throw in some hill repeats, tempos, or interval workouts into your runs.

The Harvest Half Marathon is Waterloo Region’s fall half marathon. It’s a flat, gravel road course: perfect for beginners.

Training starts with a “Rest Day” on Sunday, July 20 and a run the following day. Happy training, and we hope to see you in September!
