The half marathon is a fantastic distance and with some guidance in the form of a plan, you can accomplish some big goals!
I've designed the half plans with different goals in mind, based on the number of runs you can commit to each week. Check the comparison chart below to help you choose the right one.
Good luck with your training and of course let me know how you get on!
Hi Ben, your plan worked great for me. I have taken my marathon time from 3:29 to 2:47. I spent a while increasing my base then proceeded to follow your plan, which was set up nice and simple, so easy to follow. Every Sunday I would go on Garmin create all my workouts for the week. This stops all thinking and leaves me to just get miles in. Thank you for the plan and all the content you upload. I will be returning to get that sub 2:45. Cheers
A friend recommended your training plans and I chose your beginners program with a goal of 4:30. Your plan was well structured and easy to follow. I ran the Two Rivers Marathon in Zaltbommel, NL yesterday with a time of 4h15, Smashed it!!! Thanks for the Excellent plan, I will use the Improver Plan for my next Marathon.
I wore this cap for my first half marathon. Very comfortable! I have a small head and it fitted me perfectly! As an expedition leader, I love the design on the forehead and peak. The ventilation was very welcome - but in the summer, I must remember to sunblock my balding head!
Just run my first half marathon and was wearing these socks (and the equally amazing Legend cap). So comfortable and very pleased I got them. Evri managed to lose the first pair in transit, but incredible service from Ben and the team on sending a replacement pair very quickly. Will definitely be buying more BP merch!
I ended up with the green design which was the design I was hoping for. The top fits well on me at 165cm 32inch waist even though I have a bit of a belly. They go great with the 2 in 1 shorts. Not saying the tops magical but it did improve my 5k pb by 1 min 41 seconds. This is my second order and I love the quality of the materials and styles.
It’s very flexible which means you can swap runs in or out depending on your desired load. Great explanations and pace chart. Includes fun run variations so it doesn’t get boring. Used a marathon program first now maintaining.
These socks are just the best. So comfortable and looks really cool. From long runs to sprints, no slippage or blisters. Who highly recommend and well priced. Well done team Parkes!
I bought one of these caps after seeing it on the channel - easy to order, arrived in a couple of days and Ben even threw in a freebie! I'll definitely shop again!
