My 18-Week Half Marathon Training Plan

A training schedule I've used for the 13.1-mile distance

👉 Morning, friends! This isn’t a typical newsletter, but I wanted to share with you a half marathon training plan I put together, designed to ease you into training slowly and ramp you up through 4 1/2 months — just in time for fall races.

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.

Enjoy and feel free to reach out with any questions!
