What our members say
I found the half marathon plan very easy to follow, for both the strength and stability sections, as well as the weekly running plan. Following as closely as possible, I was able to increase my mileage safely, and really begin to enjoy running without fear of my calf blowing up. I also loved adding tempo runs and hill repeats in to my mileage. The joys of hills… Didn’t know I could enjoy them so much.

I also want to mention how instrumental your plans and online guidance have been to a big turnaround in my life and a refound love of the outdoors and running

I really appreciate everything I have learnt from you over the years. Really wish I had your help and knowledge when I was in my 20s over-training, getting injured all the time, peaking before orienteering races and believing I could eat whatever because I could just burn it off.

Frequently asked questions
Is this program suitable for a beginner?
The beginner level of this training plan is suitable for someone who has been running consistently for 3 -4 months and is comfortable running 8km regularly without injuries. If you have not yet run 8km, you should consider training for the Sydney 10km event rather than the half marathon. 12 weeks may not be enough time to prepare your body for the half marathon distance without risking injury.
Can you help me train when I'm injured?
Probably, depending on your injury. We are very sorry to hear you are injured. We know how difficult that can be. If you have an injury that requires some rest from running, there are almost always some cross-training options available to help you maintain your fitness, strength, and sanity. By cross-training while you are injured, and including some simple strength, stretching and foam rolling routines, you will speed up your recovery time and ultimately make your return to running easier and more successful. You can start our free 4 week cross training plan now for FREE. It will help you to identify appropriate exercises based on your injury type and recommend what cross training methods will work best for your injury. When you are ready you can start our 10-week return to running program or one of our run-specific rehab plans.
Can I start this program late?
You get immediate access to your training plan when you join. You can view the current week plus any previous weeks. We recommend that you start with a weekly volume that your body is currently able to cope with, which might mean starting on the beginner level before moving to intermediate a few weeks later.
