Plan Description

This plan is designed for an intermediate runner looking to conquer a half-marathon in 16 weeks time.
It has been designed so that you may start with very little running under your belt, but within a few weeks you will be confidently hitting specific half-marathon pace workouts.

The plan is intelligently designed with years of experience coaching athletes with busy life schedules. It ranges from 3-5hrs / 35-57km of running per week, with well placed rest days each week.
Each workout is designed to work by distance, with time as a guide.
The programme includes a fitness test part way in, to help measure your progress and calculate your target half-marathon pace.

Workouts have been designed so that you may train using HR, feel or pace.
