Intermediate Run Half Marathon Training Plan

Training Plan Overview

The Intermediate Half Marathon Program is a step up in mileage and intensity from the Beginner Half Marathon Program and geared towards runners who have completed a half marathon and want to improve their time. The 14-week program includes three running workouts (easy, speed, race pace runs) and one long workout from 6-13 miles. It incorporates longer endurance runs, speed and race pace workouts, and more mileage. The speed workouts focus on improving speed, fitness and efficiency in running. The gradual progression of endurance runs will allow you to run farther, more easily and the cross-training allows you to incorporate other activities you enjoy to complement your program. Cross-training activities may include strength training, cycling, yoga, swimming, elliptical or any activity outside of running. The Intermediate Half Marathon Program is best suited for those who have been running at least 3-5 times per week for 45-60 minutes for at least one year and have completed a half marathon in the past year. If you are running less, it may be better strategy to start with the Beginner Half Marathon Program and build up to the Intermediate Half Marathon Program.

Follow this plan on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with alerts each day to help you complete the program showing routes each day. Learn more about our Intermediate Run Half Marathon Training App.
