16 Week Half Marathon Training Plan
Who Is It For?:
Running novices who don’t have much experience running distances, but can run three times per week. If you’re looking for a bulletproof plan to get you through your first half-marathon, then this is it!
How Long?:
16 weeks // 4 months.
Description:
The plan gently increases the mileage at a sustainable pace.
All of the runs should be done at a comfortable, sustainable, conversational pace; don’t worry about your pace or finishing time if this is your first half marathon effort.
Long runs on Sundays are there to increase your maximum mileage and time on your feet. The whole purpose of these is to run slowly – at a conversational pace – no faster. If you are struggling during these long runs, feel free to take walking breaks – no worries.
The plan includes one day or cross training and two rest days. The rest days are especially important for letting your body recover.
Feel free to download the plan and change it up to suit your schedule.
