Having written hundreds of Training Plans for runners and having done courses for Peri + Post Menopause athletes, alongside going through the whole peri-menopause journey myself, I have come to understand what works and what doesn't work for female runners. I believe most Intermediate Half Marathon Plans don't have enough weeks to build mileage + intensity safely, don't include enough speed + strength work and have too many consecutive long runs. Most of them are written for men! With all my knowledge, I have put together what I feel is the BEST Intermediate plan I can offer. It includes: * Recovery week every 3 weeks. * No consecutive weeks of long runs (long runs are scheduled every other week to allow for the extra recovery time needed for women in peri and post menopause). * 12 weeks to allow sufficient time to build mileage + intensity without fatigue. * Strength training 2x per week. * 4-5 runs per week (Wednesday runs are optional). * 1-2 rest days per week. * Includes speed + hill work which is essential for women in peri and post menopause. * Includes a table of KEY TERMS so you can easily understand the terminology, * Includes a THINGS TO CONSIDER when following the plan section, This plan is perfect: * If you’ve previously raced a Half Marathon and feel that you want to improve but don’t necessarily feel ready for an advanced plan. * For someone who's never raced a Half Marathon but considers themselves an experienced runner. You must have previously raced 10km and have experience of regular speed work. * For someone who wants to get to the race line without injury. * For someone who has tried other Training Plans that just haven't worked. * For someone who understands that women's bodies are different to men and therefore wants a Training Plan that takes this into consideration.
