Plan Description

Your Half Marathon Training Plan from an 80/20 Endurance Certified Coach

Welcome to your Half Marathon training plan!

This is a 15 week half marathon running plan with cross training including swimming, cycling and strength & conditioning. It is ideal for preparing for a half marathon PR.

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 build your training to the point where you are running at least three times per week including some short efforts at moderate and high intensities and some easy runs of at least seven miles and where you are doing aerobic exercise seven times per week.

It is based on 80/20 running methodology where 80 percent of your weekly training time at moderate intensity (i.e. at a pace at which you can comfortably carry on a conversation) and about 20 percent at moderate to high intensity.

The training load starts at 4 hours 45 minutes in week 1 and peaks at 6 hours and 20 minutes in week 13.

Your plan includes:

- Structured running session with Heart Rate targets for Garmin, Polar, Coros etc
- Video sessions and PDF session downloads
- Strength & Conditioning to help you avoid injuries
- Deep Stretching & Meditation
- Cross Training such as Cycling
- Cycling sessions have Power & HR so great for Zwift, Garmin etc
- Training & Race Tips
- Email Access to Coach

Preparing for a half marathon is essential to making sure that all of your efforts don’t go to waste. Running a half marathon is something that anybody can accomplish however few of us actually do run half marathons.

During the 15-week Half Marathon training, you will help prepare your body and mind to run the 13.1 mile (21.1 km) distance.

You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training. For any of the sessions, especially the strength and conditioning sessions, if you are unsure of the exercises then seek the help and advice of a professional near you.
