Week 3 of my half marathon training plan

30 March 2025 ·

I’ve adapted my running plan to this week’s leisure travel with my friends. I still completed five runs, of which two were in very warm temperatures in Marrakech, where I’ve been staying since Thursday.

Personal milestone: I enjoyed completing the half-marathon distance in Marrakech today. We ran the official parcours by following the gpx we downloaded.

My run log has more 2025 running stats. My personal best in the half marathon is 1:43:07, which I’m trying to beat with this training schedule.

    @camiel great to hear you still got your goals this week for training. I am not really training for anything but with a family vacation coming up I am trying to figure out my best approach to keep my miles up.

    Also, you had me curious on half marathon personal bests as that time looked awful familiar. 😳

    @ericmwalk Oh wow! What a coincidence.

    A family holiday sounds great. I usually plan my runs in the morning when the rest of the family is busy with their shower ritual.

    You do need to be a morning person for such an approach.
