About this plan

Taking the leap to 21.1 km can be intimidating for first-time distance runners. Many beginners struggle with injury or burnout because they increase their mileage too quickly without a structured foundation.

This 12-week Beginner Half-Marathon Training Plan, designed by Olympian Ilya Tyapkin, provides a realistic and step-by-step roadmap. It prioritizes building weekly volume safely while introducing light speed work and essential drills to ensure you don’t just finish—you finish strong.

Details / Who is this for?

This plan is designed for beginners who:

  • Are first-time half-marathon runners
  • Can currently complete light runs and want a structured path to 21.1 km
  • Want to prioritize consistency and injury prevention over elite-level mileage

  • Duration: 12 Weeks
  • Level: Beginner

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a free plan I find on Google?

Free plans are built for the average runner. This plan is built around your goal time. Every pace, every workout, every recovery day is calibrated to break 40 minutes — not just finish a 10K. It was designed by someone who ran an Olympic final. The gap shows up in the details.

How do I receive the plan?

Immediately after purchase, you'll receive an email with a download link. The plan is a PDF — you can print it or use it on any device.

Is this a one-time payment?

Yes. You pay once. No subscription, no hidden charges. You own it forever.

What do I need to follow this plan?

A GPS watch or running app to track pace, and the ability to run 4–5 days per week. No gym or equipment required.
