6 week half marathon training plan

In this short tutorial I take you through some of the strategies and rules you need to be aware of to plan a 6 week half marathon training plan for yourself. In fact, you can use the rules to plan for just about any distance or time period.

All coaches and all athletes are different and it's important you don't treat this plan as a hard and fast plan. Treat it more like an initial structure that you can build on and tweak and you won't go too far wrong.

This has given me so much peace of mind! I was so worried because this super long training program I had, I was behind schedule with 7ish weeks until race day. This though, I can do! It's simple and straight forward. Doesn't make it hard like most plans! Thank you. I am not behind where I need to be at all!

I started running during the quarantine following both your 5k and 10k plans. I'm now addicted to running and will be following this plan next for my 21.5k. Thanks for the video!

I'm really impressed with your videos and channel. I don't need to be planning for a half marathon but I love running everyday. I know that's bad, your channel helps me plan my runs better.

Thank you for including strength and conditioning days here! I see way too many running plans that are just straight on running for 4-5 days/week. Cross training is so important!

[lavonneware]

Thanks brother! I appreciate it. I'm starting my training today

Great tips !!!! My friends have enrolled me in a half marathon! Unfortunately, I have 3weeks to get ready !!!! I’m doing ten k at the moment !!! May have to walk a bit !!! Work the covid and all that has been difficult to train !!!! Will do more S C too . Great video

Click on this time stamp - 3:03 if you want to screen shot the plan and have heard "and there you have it" five times in the process of trying to pause it like me ha ha ha. Looking forward to this after I finish This Messy Happy 10K plan. Love the simplicity and flexibility of it!

[Pikminization]

Wow! Thanks so much! Not only you gave me a first fresh idea on how to steer train in for my first half, but relieved some anxiety I was carrying bc of it. It’s going to be hard to respect the rest day tho! I know myself and I know I’ll try to push it :( for sure I’ll have one rest day and easy runs or workouts other 2 days
