Have you always dreamed of running a half marathon?  Or maybe you’ve run other distances like the 5K or 10K and you are itching to try what’s next.
 
The half marathon is an incredible distance that is perfect to challenge your endurance and get you running longer distances while still fitting nicely into busy lives!
 
This plan is designed to fit into the busiest of lives and is perfect for runners who can currently run 5 miles (or more) in their longest run, and are running at least two days a week for a total of 8-10 miles per week.  
 
This 20 week plan will get you running three times a week, with an optional fourth cross-training day, and will gradually build your total mileage and the mileage of the long run, peaking at 20 total miles for the week and a 12 mile long run.  
 
This plan is perfect for all paces of runners, including those who use run-walk.  
 
Time commitment required: approximately 2 hours to start, 4 hours on longest week (depending on individual pacing).  In mileage, this plan is 8 miles on the shortest week, and 20 miles on the longest.
 
You should always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program and you should be in good health before starting a half marathon training plan.
