This plan is great for someone with a good base looking to do their first or second half marathon. If you are running 15 miles a week or more consistently, you will be fine with this program.
This plan offers 2 cross training days most weeks as well as an active recovery or rest day. The cross training days can be used for cycling, hiking, swimming, or yoga. They also can be used for strength and functional work. I do recommend adding strength training to this plan either on cross training days or 1-2x a week on the easy run days. Do not add it on long run or workout days.
I coach intermediate to advanced level runners and specialize in the sport of canicross (running while your dog is attached in harness).
I love working with both dog sport and non dog sport athletes.
