Body
My husband and I both used Hal's novice 1 program for our first half marathon. I was VERY concerned. I have Ehlers Danlos and can literally tear something rolling over in bed. I have also had a cardiac dissection and stents. I wanted to get my heart and body as strong as possible. I did tear some things in my knee during this program, but luckily nothing else. My husband had a great finish - ran the whole way. I had to do some run/walking for the last 2 miles due to extreme pain, but still finished with a respectable time. We moved up to the intermediate 1 program for our second half marathon. I had to cut back to novice 2 during week 7 due to injuries, but I think 99.9% f healthy adults would be fine with this strategy. It definitely works and seems to be a very safe way to get started running long distances. Now, I feel a sense of anger at everybody with two legs who don't run. If you can walk, you can run, and if you can run, you can run a half marathon!!!
