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

The program utilizes a "Conversational Effort" (RPE 3-4/10) approach, ensuring your body adapts to the load without excessive strain.

  • Duration: 12 Weeks
  • Level: Beginner
