Plan A: Strength + Run – For athletes who already do strength training and want to continue doing so leading into the race.

There are two plan options included, and you should select the one that fits your fitness routine: This training plan is designed for injury-free athletes who are already running regularly, and who want a structured plan in order to optimize half marathon performance in one month. It’s got key info that will help you understand if this training plan is right for your fitness level, and how to approach training.

You’ll find the downloadable training plan at the bottom of this post, but please be sure to read over all the important details in this post first. Here’s everything you need to know about this 4 week half marathon training plan: In that case, I hope this post helps you. That said, if you’re browsing the internet for a 4 week plan, it’s likely that you already have a race in mind and are planning to train quickly regardless. Training in too short a time frame increases your risk for injury. I generally recommend taking at least 8 weeks – preferably 10-12 – to train if you’re a regular runner looking to ramp up your schedule.

I wouldn’t be a very good coach if I advised everyone to tackle 13.1 after just 30 days of training. You can find more details about Nick at the bottom of this post! A word of warning…īefore I get into this plan, keep in mind – training for a half marathon in just 4 weeks is not an ideal scenario. The strength + run plan was produced in partnership with Nick Normandin of Push Pull Training.

You’ll actually find two plans in this post depending on your current fitness regimen – one that focuses solely on running (you don’t want to start strength training now if you don’t already do it), and one that includes strength training if you’re a regular gym-goer (which can be super beneficial for helping build a powerful stride). Want to run a half marathon – but the race is only a month away?! Not to fear – check out this 4 week half marathon training plan that will have you race-ready in no time at all.
