Half Marathon Training

Run a half marathon you're proud of with MoveWith Coach Katie Barrett, who will lead you on part 1 of a motivating 12-week training program designed for first-time racers or those getting back into racing. Gain speed, strength and endurance with intervals, tempo runs, and long runs each week and get expert guidance along the way. By the end of the 12-week program, you'll have the endurance and stamina to take on any half marathon. Meet your Coach: Katie can crush a marathon in a blazing 2:56. She's run 7 marathons, most recently finishing the Ventura Marathon, where she took third place. She's currently training for her fourth Boston Marathon, but when she's not running, she's a personal trainer and fitness instructor in San Diego and offers HIIT + Strength classes on MoveWith. In this 12-week program, you’ll complete 3 to 4 runs each week. The program is broken into two 6-week parts and includes an audio-guided run for each of your run days. We recommend adding at least one day of cross-training each week to get you stronger and more flexible. Sample Weekly Schedule: Monday: Easy Run Tuesday: Cross Train (Strength Train) Wednesday: Interval or Tempo Run Thursday: Recovery Run Friday: Cross Train (Strength Train, Yoga, Stretch) Saturday: Long Run Sunday: Off
