This half marathon plan is designed for those who are stepping up to their first half marathon. You would ideally be running three times a week as this programme does require a base level of fitness. You should be capable of running around 60mins. This can include walking.

The program starts with three 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.
