Half marathon training

[Sueleswar64]

Hi everyone,

I’m new on the group and enjoying reading all the experiences and stories so thank you. Does anyone know of an app with free half marathon training? Thanks for your help, Sue

Welcome aboard! Do you currently have a running watch? Many have free plans, Garmin does, pretty sure Polar does too.

I know some of the others use running apps with them built in, possibly Nike, I'm sure they will be along shortly.

Good luck with the training

Hi gogo_joho, yes I have an Apple Watch and I’ve completed c210k and consolidated it a few times and now feel I’m ready to run further but not sure which app to use and which is free

Hi Sue, there is a link to training plans in the post that GoGo_JoJo shared. I’m using the BUPA beginners plan which is good. I use NRC for the intervals and the long runs as they have a good variety.

Hi and a very warm welcome to the forum. There is a pinned post which links to various other HM posts - starting with choosing a training plan - which you might find really helpful healthunlocked.com/marathon... I know the NRC app used to have training plans included, but I think that feature has now gone. I usually follow a plan without an app - I set it up in Excel or Google sheets (or paper would do!) and use Strava to record everything. The key thing is to choose a plan that will fit in with your life in general. Good luck and keep posting to let us know how it's going 😊
