Getting Ready for the ‘Waterside’

Thank you for checking out the 2008 Waterside Half Marathon and we look forward to seeing you at the Gransha Grounds on Saturday 13 September next.

To assist your preparations local club coach at City of Derry Spartans Noel McMonagle, has produced a 15 week Half Marathon Training Plan which you may find useful.

It is pitched at novice runners and if followed carefully will most definitely get you relatively painlessly through the 13.1 miles of the Waterside.

The plan presumes you already have a basic fitness level which will allow you to run non stop for 20 minutes and takes you progressively upwards from there to the start and finish line on Saturday 13 September.

Please check the plan and the relevant notes, enjoy your summer training and we’ll see you on the start line alongside the other 999 participants in September.

Good Luck
