Anyone recommend a GOOD half marathon plan?

[Anaverageman]

NO... don't collapse in shock, NOT for me!!

My daughter has signed up for half marathon in about 10 weeks, and since you are all, it seems, a reasonably helpful lot.. ( usually) I thought Id ask if any f you knew/ had used a GOOD half marathon training plan? personal recommendation always better than just plucking something off t'interweb..

Thanks in advance..

I'm currently following a Garmin training plan for a HM. Since I'm only 6 weeks into a 16 week programme (the HM is in October) I can't really vouch for it yet, sorry.

Is she a strong runner?

[Anaverageman Graduate in reply to Steve_L]

well she is young and fit and runs ca 5 k regularly so not starting from scratch .. but not already RUNNING half marathons.. ( otherwise be no need for a plan!)

You might not get a plan as you only have 10 weeks. Most HM plans are longer than that. If you want to try you could punch the stats into myasics They ask:- boy/girl/age, the time you are running say a 10 or 5k at the moment, date of the HM, how many days per week you want to train, eg 2,3 or 4 days a week and at what intensity, eg easy, intermediate or hard

Your daughter's stats obviously. That will tell you if you have enough time in their opinion

thats very good thanks..

I would say each week:

1x interval session

1x 5k or 10k run x2

1x Long run increasing 10% a week until doing the full HM

Totally doable and I think she will sail through. I have never followed plans as I think they are like the education system- put you in a box ( funnily enough apart from C25k but that is a method to get you running). She needs to enjoy it, and enjoy the day .. More important than speed or targets etc And very good luck to her....😎

Thanks Ju will pass it on to her.. think she's postponed the idea of doing it till a bit later anyway.. ( sensibly)
