This plan runs over 12 weeks. You can start at any point — do all 12 weeks or jump in wherever feels right.
Try our Sub 1 hour 30 minutes Half marathon plan.A half-marathon is a big achievement, and for most normal human's getting there will take a lot of hard work. This plan will have you out on the road for 6 days a week if you complete all of the sessions. Of course in the real world this isn't always possible, so aim for a good mix of tempo work through the week but always carve out a couple of hours for the long run at the weekend. We've added more timed long runs than normal so you can keep tabs on your progress towards hitting your target pace after the 12 weeks. As always, those easy days can be replaced with some lower impact or strength work, alternatively recharge with some yoga or a full rest day.
