Plan Description

*ENGLISH BELOW*

Worum geht's?
12 Wochen Halbmarathon-Plan (Advanced) für erfahrene Läufer:innen mit dem Ziel einer Zeit zwischen 1:40 h und 1:19 h.

Für wen?
Du trainierst regelmäßig mindestens 3x pro Woche und bringst idealerweise schon Halbmarathon-Erfahrung mit. Aktuell verletzt? Dann erst vollständig gesund werden. Der Plan lässt sich optimal mit Krafttraining kombinieren.

Was dich erwartet
Drei strukturierte 4-Wochen-Blöcke plus Tapering. Fokus: Schwellenintervalle, progressive Long Runs, Technik und Laufökonomie. Wir bauen gezielt Belastung auf – du entwickelst Tempo, Ausdauer und Rennstrategie.

Wochenrhythmus
Dienstag: lockerer Lauf mit Steigerungen, meist mit Lauf-ABC. Mittwoch: Schwellen-Einheit. Donnerstag: optionaler Recovery-Lauf. Samstag: Aerobic Alternations (Wechsel aus GA1 und Fatmax). Sonntag: Long Run, in einigen Wochen hügelig. Montag und Freitag: Mobility Essentials.

Hör auf deinen Körper
Jede Einheit hat eine RPE-Vorgabe. Qualität schlägt Quantität – bei Krankheit oder starker Müdigkeit ist Pause erlaubt und sinnvoll.

Start & Aktivierung
Aktiviere den Plan genau 12 Wochen vor deinem Wettkampf. Der Plan startet an einem Montag und endet am Renntag (Sonntag). Zähle vom Renntag 83 Tage zurück – das ist dein Startdatum.

Renn-Woche: Aktivierungs-Session mit 200 m und 1000 m im Renntempo-Gefühl, am Tag vor dem Rennen der FINAL CALL.

ENGLISH

What's the plan?
12-week half marathon plan (Advanced) for experienced runners aiming for a finish time between 1:40 h and 1:19 h.

Who is it for?
You train at least 3 times a week regularly and ideally already have some half marathon experience. Currently injured? Recover fully first. The plan works best combined with strength training.

What to expect
Three structured 4-week blocks plus tapering. Focus: threshold intervals, progressive long runs, technique and running economy. Load builds purposefully – you develop pace, endurance and race strategy.

Weekly rhythm
Tuesday: easy run with strides, mostly with form drills. Wednesday: threshold session. Thursday: optional recovery run. Saturday: aerobic alternations (switching between easy aerobic and Fatmax). Sunday: long run, hilly in some weeks. Monday and Friday: Mobility Essentials.

Listen to your body
Every workout includes an RPE cue. Quality over quantity – if you're sick or overly fatigued, rest is allowed and makes sense.

Start & activation
Activate the plan exactly 12 weeks before race day. The plan starts on a Monday and ends on race day (Sunday). Count back 83 days from race day – that's your start date.

Race week: activation session with 200 m and 1000 m reps at race-pace feel, FINAL CALL the day before the race.
