This is a 4-month plan designed for those aiming to complete their first 1/2 marathon or more experienced athletes seeking structured training.
The program consists of four phases: base, build, peak, and taper, each serving a specific purpose outlined in the pre-comment section of the workout. Each workout is structured to be automatically downloaded onto the athlete's GPS watch (list of compatible devices can be found on Trainingpeaks website). Sync your watch and follow the instructions. It's that simple! It starts with approximately 16 miles in the first week and gradually increases to around 53 miles at the peak of training.
The plan offers a balanced approach, including various types of runs like aerobic, recovery, speed, tempo, and long runs. Additionally, it incorporates two run tests to determine training pace.
The athlete is responsible for ensuring they have medical clearance from their general practitioner before starting the training. Kevin Portmann Coaching is not liable for any medical clearance issues or plan suitability for the athlete's fitness level. The athlete acknowledges using the plan at their own risk.
