20-Week Beginner Half Marathon Plan 

Duration: 20-weeks

Level: Beginner (some previous running experience)

Run: Outdoor (can use treadmill if you want)

You can do these runs outside or on a treadmill. For strength training, you will need: a 10lb+ dumbbell or kettlebell, resistance bands (you can purchase them HERE), a box or bench, and a mat.

Each week you have 3-4 runs and this program gradually progresses, but you will also have some de-training weeks as well. Stick to the schedule as best you can, and if you miss a workout, it's okay! Just pick up where you left off.

You will find a schedule/program outline on day 1 if you like to plan ahead.

5. For workouts that say easy pace - this means light effort, low heart rate.
6. For workouts like 400 meter, 800-meter, and mile repeats, this is speed work. The goal is to run each interval a little faster than the last.
