#Note/Hub #Health/Exercise/Running/Planning > [!warning] Personalized Plan - Adapt with Caution This 12-week half marathon training plan has been customized for my personal use and may not suit everyone. If you decide to follow this plan, please listen to your body, make necessary adjustments, and consult a healthcare professional to ensure it's safe and appropriate for you. Start gradually, progress wisely, and stop if you experience pain to prevent injury. Preparing for a half marathon requires a well-rounded approach that includes endurance training, strength training, and performance optimization. This hub note connects the key elements of a my personal half marathon training plan: 1. [[12-Week Half Marathon Training Plan]] The cornerstone of half marathon preparation is a structured training plan that gradually builds endurance and incorporates key workouts like easy runs, long runs, and tempo runs. This detailed 12-week plan provides specific guidance for each day's workout. 2. [[Strength Training Plan for Runners]] Complementing the running plan with a targeted strength training routine improves running performance, reduces injury risk, and promotes overall fitness. This 3-day strength training plan outlines specific exercises, sets, and rep ranges for each muscle group. 3. [[Running Metrics for Different Training Intensities]] Optimizing training based on individual metrics such as heart rate zones, cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, and stride length can help runners train more effectively and efficiently for various types of runs, including easy runs, tempo runs, long runs, interval runs, and race day. By combining these elements and consistently following the plan, I'm aiming to develop the endurance, strength, and efficiency needed to successfully complete a half marathon. Happy training! >[!quote] >"I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'" - Muhammad Ali
