Is this plan for you?

Achieving a sub 1:45 time in the half marathon is a notable accomplishment for many runners. This plan is for those transitioning from a solid training foundation and currently in good physical condition, able to maintain a weekly mileage of 30-45 miles without structured workouts.

To break the 1:45 barrier in the Half Marathon, you'll need to maintain a pace of 8 minutes per mile or 4:59 per kilometer. Over a span of 12 weeks, you'll focus on enhancing your strength, speed, and endurance. 

Before beginning this program, meeting certain criteria is advantageous. Ideally, you should be capable of running a 10km distance at your target Half Marathon pace, which equates to 8 minutes per mile or 4:59 per kilometer. Furthermore, if you've completed a 12-week or 8-week base training period, you'll be well-prepared to tackle the subsequent 12 weeks and position yourself for success.

It's worth noting that while these recommendations can facilitate a smoother transition and goal-setting process, many runners have achieved success on race day without meeting all the suggested qualifications.

Best wishes for your training journey!
