Is this plan the right fit for you?

Achieving a sub 1:30 time in a half marathon is a notable feat for many runners! Prior to embarking on this program, it's advantageous to meet certain benchmarks. Ideally, you should be capable of maintaining your goal half marathon pace for at least a 10km distance. Additionally, if you've completed a 12-week or 8-week foundational period, you'll be adequately prepared to tackle the ensuing 12 weeks of training. Runners should be able to run 30-45 mile weeks without workouts before beginning this training plan.

To break the 1:30 barrier in the half marathon, you'll need to maintain a pace of 6:52 per mile or 4:16 per kilometer. Over a span of 12 weeks, this program will focus on enhancing your strength, speed, and endurance. By addressing all three elements, you'll maximize your chances of success on race day.

It's worth noting that while these guidelines can facilitate a seamless transition and assist in setting appropriate goals, many runners have achieved success on race day without meeting all the suggested qualifications.

Commit to each day and week of training to the best of your ability, and success will follow. Best of luck with your training endeavors!
