Half-Marathon Beginner Plan Training Plan

This 12-week Half-Marathon Beginner Plan is ideal for anyone who wants to run their first half-marathon or wants to tackle the distance again after a layoff from running. There is NO speed-work in this plan as it focuses on building weekly mileage in a safe, calculated and consistent way. Weekly mileage starts at ~10km/week and peaks at ~41km/week. You should be able to run (or run/walk) 3k in one session before beginning this plan. This plan starts with running 3x/week and will advance to 4 days/week a few weeks in. There are optional cross-training sessions 1-2 days/week if you wish to add additional training. The focus of this plan is to gain consistency with training and enjoy your first half-marathon experience! So, have fun :) There will also be links to 2 general strength training and mobility plans included, as well as suggested days to strength-train.
