(Tapering, ICYDK, is the period of time during race training when you pull back on mileage in order to give your legs time to fully recover for race day.) Since your legs are already accustomed to running a few miles at a time, your “long runs” during training start at 4 miles (4.5 km) and peak at 12 miles (19.3 km) during week 7 of your half-marathon training plan - giving you plenty of time to taper before race day. “You might also have experience running a 5K (almost 8K km) or you’ve done a smaller race before.” And if this is your first half marathon, this 10-week training plan is perfect for you. “You should be able to run 3 miles (4.8 km)comfortably, without stopping,” she advises. While runners who are total beginners should stick to a 12-week half-marathon training plan, this 10-week training plan is more appropriate for runners with a little bit of experience, says Jeter.
