Can anyone help with a half marathon training plan?

Can anyone help me find a half marathon training plan that I can use on my phone? Previously I have used Endomondo to track my runs and this has also created training plans that I have enjoyed using. Sadly Endomondo no longer exists and it’s replacement MapMyRun keeps giving me problems.

Does anyone know where else I can look for a (hopefully interactive) training plan as I am hoping to run a half marathon in March 2022?

Nike Run Club is a free app that has a half marathon training plan made up of guided runs. A few of us on this forum are following it, including myself. You can play your own music in the background. Worth a look.

I’ve just started the free NRC HM plan (having seen the progress of Frizzbomb67). I am really enjoying the coached guided runs and the structure. I’ve even enjoyed the speed sessions… even when I’ve knackered myself because I’m still learning to gauge my paces!! I finally got myself a Garmin to track my progress, which has been insightful and definitely adds to my motivation, helping me to understand what each type of run contributes.

Like many others, I’m adapting the plan to suit me: currently, I’m doing a ‘week’ in about 10 days (will likely slow down further once I’m back at work). That’s cool by me as I’m not doing this plan to prepare for any event. I’m only intending to take it as far 16k, but it’s less a distance ambition for me than about wanting some structure to reboot.

I second NRC. It has a great plan which is adaptable and flexible. Good luck!

Thank you both. I have downloaded the Nike Run Club app but at the moment on my app the Half Marathon training plan says “Coming Soon”.

Is there something that I need to do? As yet I have not run with the NRC.

Oh that’s odd Krissie 🤔 I’m sure you don’t need to be a “member” of NRC to use their app and guided runs. Maybe see if the app needs updating, or keep on trying? Sorry you’re having problems. Maybe someone with more knowledge can help. 🤞

I just downloaded the NRC app nike.com/gb/nrc-app , and I can see a 14 week HM plan under 'training plans'.

You need an account with them.

I too looked at the NRC plan which is varied and interesting. It isn't an adaptive plan as such though. This link gives you a pdf versiin of the plan that is available in the NRC app nike.com/running/half-marat... the pinned posts, there is a post that discusses various HM training plan options healthunlocked.com/marathon...

Hope you find something to suit you - it's frustrating when a 'trusted friend' disappears!

I’m using Nike Running Club which I enjoy a great deal. I cut the runs down per week and gave myself extra weeks “wiggle” room.

Has it worked? Let ya’ll know after next week 😊
