Plan Description
Featuring the proven 80/20 intensity balance described in Matt Fitzgerald's bestselling book 80/20 Running, this Half Marathon Level 2 training plan will provide you with the same workout structure used by the most successful runners in the world.
TARGET ATHLETE
This plan was designed for runners who are ready to take their training load up a notch or two in order to improve their half-marathon time. Before you begin the plan, you should be running at least 3x per week, some short efforts at high intensities, some easy runs of at least 7 miles, and doing aerobic exercise (runs and non-impact cross-training combined) 5x per week.
INTENSITY TYPE : HEART RATE
This plan presents each workouts intensity target by Heart Rate, but Power, Pace and RPE versions of this plan are also available. All workouts are structured and can be exported to a supported device, which will automatically guide you through the session with duration, lap, and intensity prompts. See our Structured Workout page for more information.
BASED ON THE OPTIMAL 80/20 INTENSITY
The difference with an 80/20 Endurance plan is balance. Our plans are based on the 80 percent easy/20 percent hard formula practiced by elite athletes and proven to work better for athletes of all abilities, as presented in our best-selling 80/20 training books.
