This was a great video, thank you! Any suggestions for adjusting it to fit a half marathon training plan? Would you cut the workouts by half?

Is there a place to download the specifics (what do do each day) of this training?

Weeks running 10+ miles is that one day a week or going that distance multiple days a week????
