12 week training cycle for half marathon.
- This plan assumes that you are already training at a decently high level; i.e. 4+ days a week and can run for 90 minutes for a long run. If you are not at this level yet, take a few months to slowly and gradually build your mileage to that point. Once you can run 4-5 days a week of 30-60 minutes with a long run of 90 minutes, you are ready to start this plan.
