Walk Half Marathon Training Plan
Training Plan Overview
If you want to walk a half marathon, this Walk Training Program is for you! The Walk Half Marathon Training Program is best suited for those who have been walking at least 3 times per week, and are comfortable walking 30-50 minutes at a time. If you are currently walking less, that is okay, consider following the 10K Walk Training Program and build your way up. The Walk Program gradually builds and includes four walking workouts, one optional cross-training workout and two rest days per week to allow your body to acclimate and adapt to the progression of the program. Week by week, your body will adapt, get stronger and walk longer. The cross-training workouts are optional and allow you to incorporate other activities you enjoy to complement your program. Cross-training activities may include cycling, yoga, swimming, elliptical or any activity that is not walking or running.
