I have just added approx 200 new images of the 2009 Newark Half and Fun Run to the photos page.
Training schedule
In order to train for a half marathon you should have a basic fitness level. If you are over the age of 35 then you should see your doctor for a physical examination. If you have no major health problems then you should be able to train for a half marathon.
This schedule assumes that you can run 3 miles, 3 times a week.
If you can increase the number of sessions per week, either every week or on the odd other week – use the programme for session 2.
| Week commencing | Session 1 | Session 2 | Session 3 |
| 25.05.2009 | 3 miles | 3 miles | 4 miles |
| 01.06.2009 | 3 miles | 4 miles | 5 miles |

A thank you from Peter Borlace
I’m emailing you today to pass on my gratitude for the help I received on Sunday during the 1/2 marathon. I was one of the runners who collapsed during the race, so I wish to thanks the kind runners who stopped to help me – you’re very special people.
Massive thanks to the organisers of the event, the paramedic teams who were on hand to help and the staff at Newark hospital who got me back up on my feet again!
You are all brilliant.
Kind Regards,
Pete Borlace
(I promise to do more training next year!)
