Half Marathon Training Part 1: Build Up Your Pace + Endurance

6 week training plan with 22 audio-guided runs

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©2019 MoveWith (P)2019 MoveWith

Highly recommended for the confidence, consistency and motivation

Running with Katie kept me moving the whole time. It was the perfect program to keep me on track. I went from feeling relieved and glad that I just kept moving and no longer stopped during the first runs to looking forward to the next and trusting that each time I showed up I would finish.
By week 6, I noticed my pace improving and my confidence and joy of running was high. She reminds you to be reflective and grateful for all you have done and how much more you’re capable of.

Definitely recommend for those who are getting started for first time or again after taking time off and building back up your confidence or just need to be committed to something and building consistency and endurance. Set a goal and get moving. You’ll make gains through out.

Great tips and encouragement

Loved the format and talking you through each run with music.
Felt like private trainer

Wonderful

I could not stop listening. Perfect narration and a captivating story. Lara’s story is worth the listen.

Good Routine

I don’t care much for the music, but the tips aren’t bad. The best part is having a guided training regiment though. If I found a better one I’d switch for sure.

Great running program!

I have used this and Part 2 to keep me running. I run on a treadmill which helps control pace without dealing with terrain. I have done both Part 1 and Part 2 more than a couple of times. Sometimes I switch up the weeks, sometimes I go in order. I run over 100 miles a month and this helps get those miles down. I do like the music, running tips, and inspirational stories which are great. I wish Coach Katie would do another series. She does a great job. I would like to see some longer runs (more than 90 mins) for those who can’t finish a half marathon in less than 2 hours, to help avoid possible injury on race day; but I have done a long run and then did another Easy Miles (or vice versa) back to back to extend the run time. I also have used my weighted vest on the recovery runs to help increase stamina and pace. Overall, a great run series with a great coach. Now go make another series!! Go train hard!

Great motivation

A great motivation series! She talks you through the plan and keeps you focused! Highly recommended

I wasn’t a runner before

I can’t speak up this audio training enough. It took me from zero to half. I feel confident in my runs and now having the tools and knowledge to be a good runner. Having a coach in your ear through training has been invaluable to my success. If you’re considering taking up a half marathon and not sure where to start.. this is the one. :)

A personal trainer always with you when you run

It was my first half marathon, and this audible gave me structure, encouragement, and tips. She will get you ready!!

wow

if audible keeps making content like this I will keep giving audible my hard earned cash. good job everybody

Loved this. Listening for the second time .

I loved this program so much that now I am "running " through the training for the second time.
Even though I had just started running (couch to 5k at 52 yrs old) I was able to complete the course and run 13.1 miles at the end.
