London Half Marathon Training Plan - Compete
About this plan
The whole plan points at one thing: London Half Marathon. Across 17 weeks and roughly 6.6 hours a week, it builds you toward the 13.1 mile half marathon with nothing in there that does not earn its place.
The load builds in three-week blocks and then backs off, so the work actually lands instead of burying you. The hard sessions are dosed the way the research says fitness is built, never piled on as junk volume, and your endurance, your pace and the durability to hold it late on all get their turn.
Do the work and this plan is built to have you racing at the sharp end when you line up for London Half Marathon.
