A training plan that adapts to your life
Most half marathon plans get abandoned by week four — because life doesn't follow a template. Yours is built around your schedule, your level, and your goal, then recalibrates every time you run.
Why runners quit
Finishing is hard. Sticking to a plan shouldn't be.
Generic plans don't know that you can only run Tuesdays and weekends, that your long run fits on Saturday, or that you're coming back from a break. So they ask you to bend your life around them — and when real life happens, the plan is quietly dropped.
We flip it: the plan bends around you. Whatever your level, your goals, or your progression, you get a plan that fits the week you actually have — and keeps adapting as you train.
The process
Three steps to your start line
Tell us about your race
A two-minute questionnaire covers everything the plan needs: race date and goal, experience level, the days you can run, your preferred long-run day, and a recent race or longest run.
We build your plan
The engine generates a complete week-by-week schedule: base, build, peak, then taper. Every workout comes with exact paces, intervals, recovery days, and tips — all derived from your VDOT.
Run, log, adapt
Log each run and your VDOT is recalculated from your actual training. Paces and future sessions tighten or back off based on how you're really running, so you always train at the right level.
What we ask
The questions that make the plan yours
Your race
Race name and date — we count back the training weeks for you.
Your goal
Finish comfortably, or target a specific time. We pace the plan to match.
Your experience
Beginner, intermediate, or advanced — your starting point shapes the plan.
Days you can run
Pick the days that actually work for you, not a generic Monday-Friday template.
Your long-run day
The day you can carve out for the long run — it gets the biggest workouts.
Recent running
A recent race or longest run tells us your starting fitness.

How it works — FAQ
How much does a training plan cost?
Each plan is a one-time payment of $19.99 for the race you're training for — an intro price with only 100 places left (normally $34.99). There's no subscription and nothing to cancel — you pay once and keep your plan. The free plans on our site (from 8 to 16 weeks) remain free to browse.
How is this different from a free training plan PDF?
Free plans are fixed schedules. A personalized plan adapts: it's built around your race date, experience level, and the exact days you can run, and it recalculates your paces as you log your runs.
What is VDOT and why does it matter?
VDOT is a single fitness score derived from your running ability. It drives every pace in your plan — easy, tempo, interval, and long run — so workouts are always calibrated to the level you're actually at.
What if I miss a week or life gets busy?
That's the point. Tell the plan what's realistic, and it's built around the days you can run. As you log workouts, future sessions adjust to what you actually completed instead of punishing you for it.
