When you cross the finish line of a marathon, you’ve accomplished something very, very special.
Especially designed for age group triathletes, the goal of this 24-week Half Marathon Training Plan for Triathletes is to set you up for your HALF MARATHON SUCCESS while maintaining a reasonable level of swim and bike sport-specific fitness.
Hand-crafted by USA Triathlon-certified coach and elite triathlete Krista Schultz, MEd, CSCS this plan encapsulates her exercise physiology expertise with more than a decade of experience as as an endurance athlete and coaching hundreds of other athletes to success.
A typical week consists of 4 run, 2 swim, 2 bike and 2 strength workouts. During the plan, you will build up to 12.2 miles for your long. Your weekly schedule includes optional time allocation for strength exercises and a designated off day (Monday). We recommend using a GPS device for pace or heart rate monitor in conjunction with perceived effort, but neither is required.
Please note: This plan starts any time so pick your start day 24 weeks before your target race day. This plan version assumes your target half marathon race is either on a Saturday or Sunday.
