Plan Description

Is This Plan For You?

This 36-week Half Marathon Intermediate plan by GA Endurance is designed for runners who want a complete, long-term progression all the way to race day.

It is ideal for athletes who can comfortably run 8–12 km and are ready to train with structure, precision, and consistency—progressing from base development to race-specific performance.

If you are looking for a full system that guides you step-by-step toward a confident and controlled race execution, this plan provides a clear and proven pathway.


What You Can Expect

• A complete 36-week progression from Base → Build → Race Preparation

• Gradual increase in volume with structured intensity distribution

• Dedicated phases for aerobic development, steady-state strength, and race-specific work

• Structured long runs and race-pace sessions to improve pacing control and durability

• Integrated testing phases to track progress and recalibrate training zones

• A planned taper phase to ensure optimal race-day freshness

• Clear, easy-to-follow workouts using pace, heart rate, or perceived effort

• Optional strength guidance to support injury prevention and long-term consistency
