This half marathon plan is designed for those already running three or four times per week. You also may have already done a half marathon before and are looking to improve on your previous time.
The program starts with four weekly runs, one strength and one yoga session. Runs are carefully structured to avoid back-to-back hard days, with a lighter week every four weeks and a two-week taper leading to race day.
The key to successfully completing your first half marathon is consistency. Avoid getting distracted by advanced workouts or comparing yourself to seasoned runners. This plan focuses on building your running base and helping you learn how your body responds to training.
You'll also find weekly training tips throughout the plan. These tips link to resources covering pacing, recovery, fuelling, and more to guide you along the way. With steady effort and commitment, you'll be well-prepared to achieve your marathon goal.
