Plan Description
Transform Your Half Marathon Experience with the 18-Week Run-Walk Half Marathon Method
Embark on a half marathon journey that's both achievable and enjoyable with my 18-Week Run-Walk Half Marathon Method Training Plan. This method is a game-changer for half marathon runners, breaking the 21.1km into manageable run-walk segments to significantly reduce both physiological and psychological stress.
🔬 Innovative Training Approach
- Developed through years of testing and feedback, this plan features a unique combination of targeted half marathon-intensity running (zone 3), VO2max development, and sustained aerobic development, all built on the fundamentals of my unique run-walk method.
🏃♂️ Structured Yet Flexible Schedule
The plan operates on a 6+ days/week schedule with two quality sessions each week, structured in a three weeks 'on' - one week 'off' macro cycle. The 'off' week includes only one quality session to ensure adequate recovery.
🔄 Adaptable to Your Timeline
Tailor the plan to fit your schedule and goals. You can replicate or remove weeks to either lengthen or shorten the plan, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your race day.
📈 Customizable for Your Needs
- Each week offers a 'bonus run' for those aiming for a seven-day/week schedule. If you're running six days/week, you can opt to skip the 'bonus run'. Regardless of your choice, you'll engage in the most effective sessions each week.
🔗 Additional Resources
Every run is linked to further information within my online knowledge base, providing you with comprehensive support and guidance throughout your training.
