A running plan for the very time-efficient fitness enthusiast or runner who is looking to seriously enhance their endurance performance with once-per-week running workouts. This plan uses running workouts programmed with specific paces based off previous race efforts or estimates of best efforts. As with any good training plan, it starts progressively and builds to a peak and includes programmed recovery. Other optional forms of non-impact cardio training and suggested resistance training days are scheduled, all to progress you to a new half marathon PR or break down running performance barriers from 10k to running a marathon with just a couple long runs added at the end of the program! The goal of this plan is to prepare you to run a faster half marathon with minimal time invested.
