The Hansons marathon training program has three types of workouts:
Speed: 3 miles of intervals at 10K goal pace.
Strength: 6 miles of intervals at 10 seconds faster than marathon goal pace.
Tempo: Marathon goal pace.
When applied to half marathon training, would tempo pace be changed to half marathon goal pace, or would marathon pace still be used?
Thanks for your help.
A tempo run is a tempo run.
I don't know the details of the Hansons' program, but you may want to take it down to half marathon pace while significantly cutting the distance.
For example, instead of a sixteen mile tempo at marathon pace, you could do an eight mile tempo at half-marathon pace.
I'd suggest something else entirely for half-marathon training, but if you're set on making slight adjustments to the Hansons' it's your choice.

Thanks, but I'm looking for details about the Hansons program.
You would use half marathon pace.
