Is this plan for you?

Running a sub-2 hour half marathon is a remarkable achievement. For many, it's akin to completing a full marathon. Maintaining a pace of 9 minutes and 9 seconds per mile for 13.1 miles is a significant feat.

Over the course of 16 weeks, this plan will fully prepare you to achieve your goal, making you feel like Eliud Kipchoge breaking the 2-hour barrier in a half marathon.

Following the program step by step is key to reaching this milestone.

Before starting the program, it's beneficial to meet certain qualifications. Ideally, you should have completed a 10K run in 55 minutes and maintained a weekly mileage of around 20 miles. If you've achieved a pace of 8 minutes and 52 seconds per mile in a 10K race, tackling a 9:09 pace for 13 miles will feel more manageable. While not mandatory, meeting these prerequisites provides a solid foundation for success.
