If you have more than two but less than three months to train for your next half marathon, this 10-week training plan might be the perfect fit, especially for experienced runners. Beginners can even use this training plan, if they stick to it faithfully.

Bear in mind that you can always run the miles below using a one-to-one run-walk pace (run for one minute, walk for one minute, etc.). Or you can use a method like Jeff Galloway’s Run-Walk-Run half marathon training, in which you run for three minutes, walk for one minute, and so on.

Use your shorter, mid-week runs for building up your speed and ability to run shorter distances in better times, while using your longer weekend runs to build up your endurance and your ability to lengthen your miles more slowly.

We’ve included plans based on whether your race runs on a Saturday or a Sunday, so it’s a good idea to follow the one that applies to you.

Some runners prefer more dynamic training plans. How fast should you be running your 3-mile recovery run when you have a target 2-hour marathon? For a more sophisticated and supportive training partner, we recommend Runna. All Half Marathon Guide readers received 2-weeks free with code HALF.
