BASIC â 12 Wochen Halbmarathon-Plan
đ Worum gehtâs â und fĂŒr wen ist der Plan gemacht?
Dieser Plan richtet sich an alle, die zum ersten Mal einen Halbmarathon finishen wollen â und dabei um die 2:00 h bis ca. 1:45 h anpeilen.
Wichtig: Du solltest bereits regelmĂ€Ăig 2â3x pro Woche laufen, also nicht kompletter LaufanfĂ€nger sein. Wenn du aktuell verletzt bist, ist dieser Plan nicht fĂŒr dich geeignet â werde zuerst vollstĂ€ndig gesund.
Der Plan setzt auf 3 Laufeinheiten pro Woche und fĂŒhrt dich Schritt fĂŒr Schritt zur Ziellinie. Er lĂ€sst sich optimal mit leichtem Krafttraining ergĂ€nzen.
đ
Wichtig: Aktiviere den Plan genau 12 Wochen vor deinem Wettkampf!
So stimmt der Trainingsplan exakt mit deinem Wettkampftag ĂŒberein:
âą FĂŒr den Berlin Halbmarathon am 29.03.2026 startest du am 05.01.2026
âą FĂŒr den Hamburg Halbmarathon am 26.04.2026 startest du am 02.02.2026
đŹ Was dich erwartet
Drei strukturierte 4âWochenâBlöcke plus Tapering. Die Belastung steigt langsam an: mit kontrollierten TempolĂ€ufen, lĂ€ngeren Grundlageneinheiten und Technikarbeit. Alles auf einem realistischen, nachhaltigen Niveau.
đ Wichtig: Hör auf deinen Körper!
Jede Einheit enthĂ€lt eine Beschreibung, wie sie sich anfĂŒhlen soll (RPE). Dein Körper gibt das Tempo vor â lieber eine Einheit auslassen als zu viel riskieren. Konstanz schlĂ€gt Perfektion.

BASIC â 12 Week Half Marathon Plan
đ Whatâs the plan â and whoâs it for?
This plan is perfect for first-time half marathoners aiming to simply finish strong â ideally in around 2:00 h to 1:45 h.
You should already be running 2â3 times a week regularly â this is not a beginner-to-running plan. If youâre currently injured, this plan is not for you â focus on recovery first.
Itâs built around three running sessions per week and progresses gradually. Can be combined with light strength or stability work.
đ
Important: Activate the plan exactly 12 weeks before race day!
That way, your training finishes right on race week:
âą Berlin Half Marathon (29 March 2026) â start on 5 January 2026
âą Hamburg Half Marathon (26 April 2026) â start on 2 February 2026
đŹ What to expect
Three 4âweek training blocks plus tapering. The focus is on smart progression: longer endurance runs, light tempo intervals, and simple but effective form drills. No overtraining â just consistent progress.
đ Listen to your body!
Every session includes an RPE cue. Donât force it â rest days are better than pushing through fatigue or sickness. Long-term consistency wins the race.
