London Half Marathon Training Plan - Improve
About this plan
The whole plan points at one thing: London Half Marathon. Across 17 weeks and roughly 6 hours a week, it builds you toward the 13.1 mile half marathon with nothing in there that does not earn its place.
Three weeks up, ease back, repeat: that rhythm is what makes the fitness stick. Intensity is rationed rather than sprayed around, every target reads off your own threshold pace and heart rate, and the plan gives your endurance, your pace and the durability to hold it late on the attention each one needs.
Follow it properly and the aim is clear: take a real chunk out of your previous time at London Half Marathon.
