Train with Confidence
Beginner to Half-Marathon Plans
Simple vs. Detailed Training Plans
At RunVerity we know different runners want different levels of guidance. That’s why I’ve created two sets of training plans for you to choose from:
Simple Plans (Top Section)
If you just want something clear and easy to follow, start here.
8 weeks long
3 runs per week
Miles only — no jargon, no complicated pacing
Perfect if you want to know exactly “how far to run” each week without overthinking it.
These stripped-back plans are designed to give you the essentials. Just follow the weekly miles, tick them off, and you’ll be ready for race day.
Detailed Plans (Bottom Section)
If you prefer more structure, pace guidance, mental skills training and variety, scroll down
Include suggested confidence drills, types of runs, progressions and fuelling advice
Offer more detail for those who like understanding the “why” as well as the “what”
Best if you enjoy following workouts more closely on a week by week basis or want extra support in hitting a time goal.
No one plan fits all, so if you need any advice or extra guidance - just ask.
