Plan Description
This plan is designed for those who are coming into their training with a little bit of running experience and are looking to step it up from a basic plan to one that will give them the best possible chance at a great half marathon result in 12 weeks time. The maximum training week is only a little under 8 hours in duration. This plan is managable for most seasoned runners, even those with limited time for training.
The traditional easy/recovery days in this plan are Monday and Friday with the key quality sessons being Tuesdays and Saturdays.
There is a nice combination of both endurance based sessions as well as some great speed sessions each week in this plan. With this plan we really step it up from the beginner plan in order to get some real traction bringing down your times in preperation for race day.
All workouts are designed based on training zones which are customized to each individual runner. Information about how to use these training zones, as well as other information regarding running form and testing can be accessed through the following link:
