This program is designed for individuals who are new to the sport of running, have limited experience running, or have never completed a half-marathon distance race previously. The program best serves those whose main goal is to complete the distance feeling strong and capable.
A high emphasis is placed on appropriate progression of volume/intensity to safely build an athlete's endurance and capacity for long distance running. The program includes mobility and running-specific form drills that will help with running economy and injury prevention for that reason.
Weekly check-in calls/emails serve to assess progress and allow for questions.
