Do You Have Any Guidance for Running for a Half Marathoner?

I like how we have this scenario of this half marathoner but we're also deviating a little bit from different types of runners so we're covering a lot. I think once you get to a point that that's starting to feel quite easy you do need to start thinking about adding load rather than just going up in repetitions. Usually the strategy that I would use for people that haven't got access to a gym is to try and work on one leg as much as possible. Do things like single leg squats single leg glute bridge split squats and different other different lunge patterns will usually be enough loading for somebody that's not done any strength work before to drive a meaningful adaptation.
