Plan Description

Featuring the proven 80/20 intensity balance described in Matt Fitzgerald's bestselling book 80/20 Running, this Half Marathon Level 3 training plan will provide you with the same workout structure used by the most successful runners in the world.

TARGET ATHLETE

This plan is designed for experienced competitive runners who are prepared to train 2x a day some days in pursuit of significantly improved performance. Before you start, you should be running at least 3x per week, with short efforts at high intensities, some easy runs of at least 7 miles, and are doing aerobic exercise (runs and non impact cross-training combined) at least 5x per week.

INTENSITY TYPE : RPE

This plan presents each workouts intensity target by RPE, but Heart Rate, Pace and Power 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.

80/20 Endurance

80/20 Endurance is the creation of Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden. Based on the breakthrough books 80/20 Running and 80/20 Triathlon, runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes improve the most when they consistently do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the other 20 percent high intensity. The typical endurance athlete spends only 50-70 percent their total training time at low intensity. The solution? An 80/20 training plan that ensures the optimal intensity balance.
