weeks 1, 2 and 3

In these first 3 weeks for me this was about getting into training and adapting to my training programme since it was my first time training for a half marathon. for this I had a moderate RPE since I did not want to over train and risk injury. This meant using flexibility more accurately in stretching before and after trainings so that I could prevent muscle soreness as much as possible as well. During this time there was the idea of finding the right progressive overload in which adding to my running times each week this for would be adding 5 minutes a week until the 8th week. The F.I.T.T principle during my programme for the first three weeks were a frequency of training 5 days a week. A RPE intensity of 5 to 6, time of 20 to 70 mins with one big run a week and types activities used were running, cycling and rowing.
