My 12-week half marathon training plan

One we've used to train for the 13.1-mile distance

👉 This isn’t a typical issue of our newsletter, but I wanted to share with you full versions of the training plans we’ve used in the past, in case you’d like to download a copy and adapt it for your schedule.

There’s a good chance you’ve already seen this plan if you’ve been reading for a while (we used it to train together last fall). It includes a week-by-week breakdown of the miles you need to run, the long run each week (in bold), all leading up to the taper a couple of weeks or so before your race day.

There’s also a downloadable PDF version at the end of the schedule, so you can print it out if you like. (I have a few more training plans I’m still working on getting into this format, so watch your inbox for them soon.)

Enjoy and feel free to reach out with any questions!
