Ready to tackle a Half Marathon? Check out our straightforward 12-week training plan! With 4 running days per week, including easy runs, long runs, and speed days with various interval workouts, you'll be well-prepared. Each day starts with a warm-up and ends with a recovery session to keep you on the fast track to success. We suggest a base ability of 30-40 minutes of non-stop running before diving in. This plan is designed to get you across the finish line feeling strong. Are you in?
