Is this your starting point?

Start if you can run or run-walk 5K continuously, or have recently completed a 5K plan or event. This is an accelerated 10-week progression.

This is not a couch-to-half-marathon program. You do not need previous half marathon or racing experience, but you should begin the plan healthy, comfortable with regular running, and ready for an accelerated progression.

What is in the plan?

Train Smarter with a Simple, Accelerated Plan

Structured running by threshold pace and perceived effort builds longer-run stamina, pacing control, recovery and race-day fueling skills.

This 10-week program provides a clear, no-fuss path from 5K fitness to the half marathon finish line. Requiring little to no equipment, it uses straightforward, structured workouts that can fit into a busy schedule.

Using Threshold Pace and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), the plan progressively develops your endurance, strength, pacing control, and confidence through time- and distance-based running sessions. You will also receive guidance on recovery, pacing, fueling, and race-day preparation so you arrive at the start line ready and confident.

Because this is an accelerated program, the training progresses more quickly than a traditional beginner half marathon plan. Consistency, recovery, and following the scheduled effort levels will be important throughout the 10 weeks

Equipment: Running shoes and a watch or phone for timing; a GPS watch is helpful but optional.

Email support included

Ask plan-related questions during the 10 weeks and for 14 days after the final scheduled day. Replies are normally within two business days. This fixed plan does not include ongoing workout review or calendar management. See the full email support details.
