So if you have your 10k time and use a heart rate monitor, we can start discussing things closer to your needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Active Recovery <\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp; This is aimed at doing a non weight-bearing form of exercise as a form of recovery. If you are an experienced cyclist we can discuss you using cycling as a form of recovery. However, cycling can often have a reverse effect on the runner if everything is not in order with regards to saddle height etc. You need to recover during active recovery, so this is why swimming is often the better alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Use the forums to ask further questions<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rest \u2013 is no exercise <\/strong>\u2013 do note, that as you develop, you can consider doing strength exercises for the upper body and doing stretching to assist you recovery<br \/>\n<strong>Jog \u2013 <\/strong>both feet lifting off the ground, there is no need to consider pace on these days, the intent is to develop time-on-feet while jogging<\/p>\n<p>You can print the program out and fill in your own comments and then as you develop you can ask further questions on the forum provided<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/forums\/thread-3715.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tallinn Half Marathon Training Forum<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/forums\/thread-3715.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/forums\/thread-3715.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tallinn Half Marathon Training Programs Level 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/training\/half\/week-1-4-level-3\">Level 3 &#8211; Tallinn Half Marathon program Week 1 &#8211; 4<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/training\/half\/week-5-8-level-3\">Level 3 &#8211; Tallinn Half Marathon program Week 5 &#8211; 8<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/training\/half\/week-9-12-level-3\">Level 3 &#8211; Tallinn Half Marathon program Week 9 -12<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tallinn Half Marathon 2025 Training Programs Week 5 &#8211; 8 of Time-to-Run&#8217;s Level 3 Half Marathon program<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59,62,30],"tags":[64],"class_list":["post-993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-half","category-lvl3","category-training","tag-half-marathon-training"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=993"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1301,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/993\/revisions\/1301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.time-to-run.com\/marathon\/tallinn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
