Try our Sub 2 hours 30 minutes Half marathon plan.This lower mileage plan provides the building blocks to a well rounded and effective training schedule. We have 12 tempo sessions, 12 easy days and 12 long runs of which some will have quicker pace targets as you tick off the weeks so that you can gauge your progress towards getting that target time. Try to spread the runs through the week to give your body enough time for recovery. If you feel like you need more time on the road, hit up your local ParkRun for a 5K tempo run on Saturdays, or have a look at some of our other plans for some interval session ideas. Whether this is your first half, or 150 minutes is a your next big milestone target, we think this plan should get you there.
