Beginner Half Marathon Training Plan Training Plan
Description
Half marathon training program designed for athletes who consistently run fewer than 15-20 miles per week prior to beginning training. This plan includes 3 runs per week, 2 strength days, 1 full rest day, and 1 optional cross training (or rest) day. One run per week is designed to improve your aerobic efficiency through harder efforts. This plan is right for you if you know that you feel best when you focus on varied consistency rather than high mileage.
Minimum Requirements
You should be able to run (or run/walk) 3-4 miles comfortably prior to starting this plan. The first long run is 5 miles -- it's okay if that's not easy, but it should be doable before starting this plan. The recommendation is that you have a base of at least 10-15 miles per week for 4 weeks prior to beginning this plan.
