Most other plans do not take this kind of periodization into consideration. Therefore sometimes recovery running days are extended and shortened appropriately to give you an ideal boost in fitness. Furthermore, it does not follow a strict 7-day cycle (like most competitor’s plans), because at Higher Running we believe some workouts take longer to recover from and adapt to. Unlike other “cookie-cutter” training plans that just list mileage and a general pace, this Higher Running plan gives you essential specifics on how to do workouts at the right intensity for the most beneficial training stimuli. This plan is derived from the theories and practices of the most legendary distance running coaches and exercise scientists from around the world: Arthur Lydiard, Jack Daniels, Renato Canova, and Peter Pfitzinger to name a few. Also, we highly recommend that before starting this plan you’ve taken a break from racing and are starting fresh with an established a base of at least 2-weeks of easy-paced running of at least 30 miles a week. If you haven’t run a single week over 25 miles (40km) per week in your running career yet, we highly recommend that you take several months (or even a year) to build up your mileage base so you are consistently averaging at least 20 to 25 miles (32km-40km) per week on a regular basis without any serious injury before starting this training program. The plan tops out at 35 to 40miles (56-64km) per week.

The training plan comes with both a miles and kilometers version! This plan contains speed workouts and long runs that will help you run faster, stronger, and with more confidence.

We call this The “Not So Beginner” Half Marathon Plan because it’s more than just a basic beginner plan that is just meant to get you across the finish line. This plan is for half marathon runners who have run in the 2:15 to 1:40 range and are looking to improve their personal best times.
