My 16-week half marathon training plan

Ease in to half marathon training over 4 months

👉 This isn’t a typical issue of our newsletter, but I wanted to share with you the full version of a training plan I’ve used to train for half marathons 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; 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 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 more training plans too — you can check them out here.)

Enjoy and feel free to reach out with any questions!
