Training benefits
Achieve your half marathon goals
Progress step by step and stay injury-free
The plan emphasises gradual progression, which is crucial for preventing injuries. Every 3 weeks of training are followed by 1 deload week with lower mileage and lower intensities to recover and adapt, so you can safely enhance your running capabilities.
Run based on training zones
This plan is based on training zones (heart rate + feeling) and not on pace. A sheet explaining the different training zones is included, so you can adapt the plan to your individual fitness level.
Structured variety in training sessions
The plan mixes general workouts that increase your aerobic base with race-specific interval sessions, so you develop a well-rounded skill set while keeping training engaging. Strength sessions are scheduled, but you decide what those workouts look like (no specific strength exercises are included).

What other people say
“My workouts are scheduled based on my availability, and the schedule includes rest days at appropriate times for recovery and to prevent injuries. It's because of the guidance I received from Louise that I've been able to rebuild my training in a healthy way after a persistent shin injury.”
“The training sessions are designed in such a way that it doesn't feel like a chore, which is great when you have busy weeks and would rather stay at home. My heart rate stayed lower than before, which motivates me. The training sessions build up well and are varied, so it doesn't get boring!”
“Louise created a well-structured schedule for me. Without injuries and in good shape, I made it to the start. The race turned into a successful experience. A structured approach and guidance are a must, and it allows you to make progress more easily. Happy to have Louise on my team ;)”
