This plan is for runners who want to chase a personal best or race competitively. With five runs and one cross-training day each week, this plan is built on progressive overload, strategic workouts, and smart recovery. You’ll dial in race-day fueling, sharpen your pacing, and build strength and stamina. Prior strength training experience is a bonus, and the plan adapts to your history and goals. Let’s turn up the heat and make this your strongest half marathon yet.
* Running consistently and injury-free for the past 3 months (or working with a specialist) * Currently running at least 20 miles per week * Able to commit to 5 runs and 1 cross-training day per week * Regular strength training is beneficial (but not part of the program)

I want to help you train smart, stay injury-free, and balance running with the rest of your life. That starts with an honest look at where you are and what you want to achieve. I’ve coached since 2013 and am an RRCA Level 2 Adult Endurance & Youth Coach. I’ve completed 25 marathons—going from barely finishing my first to qualifying for Boston in 2017. I love being a student of the sport and translating science into practical, lifelong training for runners of all levels.
