Manchester Half Marathon Training Plan - Improve
About this plan
Targeting Manchester Half Marathon? This is the plan for it. 17 weeks, a lean 6 hours a week, every one of them built around the 13.1 mile half marathon rather than adapted from a template.
Every target is set as a percentage of your own threshold pace and heart rate, so it fits you and not some average athlete. The weeks climb and then ease in three-week blocks, and across them your endurance, your pace and the durability to hold it late on are trained in balance.
Do the work and this plan is built to take a real chunk out of your previous time when you line up for Manchester Half Marathon.
