Train Smarter with a Simple, Accelerated Plan
This 10-week program provides a clear, no-fuss path from 5K fitness to the half marathon finish line. Requiring little to no equipment, it uses straightforward, structured workouts that can fit into a busy schedule.
Using Threshold Pace and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), the plan progressively develops your endurance, strength, pacing control, and confidence through time- and distance-based running sessions. You will also receive guidance on recovery, pacing, fueling, and race-day preparation so you arrive at the start line ready and confident.
Because this is an accelerated program, the training progresses more quickly than a traditional beginner half marathon plan. Consistency, recovery, and following the scheduled effort levels will be important throughout the 10 weeks.

Who Is This Plan For?
This plan is designed for beginner to intermediate runners who already have a basic running foundation.
Before starting, you should:
- Be able to continuously run or run-walk 5K
- Or have recently completed a 5K running plan or event
- Be able to commit to consistent training for the full 10 weeks
This is not a couch-to-half-marathon program. You do not need previous half marathon or racing experience, but you should begin the plan healthy, comfortable with regular running, and ready for an accelerated progression.

What Equipment Do You Need?
Because most workouts are guided by RPE, equipment requirements are minimal. A GPS watch or smartwatch can be helpful but is not required.
You will need:
- Proper running shoes
- A timing device, such as a watch or phone
