Train for a Half Marathon with Orange Theory
Summary
In this episode, host Bridget Gaug tackles the common question: "Can you train for a half marathon while doing OrangeTheory Fitness?" The answer is a resounding yes. Bridget explains how OTF classes provide essential elements that many runners typically skip - strength training, speed work, and consistent cross-training. She breaks down how to adjust your outdoor running pace (hint: it's slower than your OTF base pace), emphasizes the importance of rest days, and provides a clear framework for combining OTF workouts with half marathon training. Whether you're a dedicated OTF member looking to tackle your first half marathon or a runner curious about incorporating group fitness, this episode offers practical strategies to help you reach your 13.1-mile goal while keeping the classes you love.
