Half marathon training

I am training with Jeff Galloway for a half marathon. I have a 30km run coming up, and was wondering if this is half marathon training program or maybe a full?

Usually the half marathon training doesn't include much longer runs.

A 30k run for a half marathon is highly unusual. I would even say completely unnecessary. Where did you get the training plan from?

I am training for a 10k in 54min with Jeff Galloway as well. There are now 16 x 800m speedies (less than 5min/km pace) scheduled today and a long run of 21km just two days after. :D

His Garmin coach training plans are being criticized here in the forums for being too excessive, even brutal. Just search for Galloway within the forums for reference.

I do not know if this is the way he intended, or his training plan just implemented wrong in the Garmin coach.
Garmin representatives say there is nothing wrong with the training plan and the man himself has not commented yet.
I think the implementation might be wrong since this all is kind of against his philosophy.
