Trainingsplannen voor halve marathons

What is a run further plan?

A Run Further plan is designed to help you steadily increase your mileage, strengthen your endurance, and discover the joy of running longer - all without the pressure of preparing for a race. Whether you’re laying the groundwork for future goals, recovering after an event, or simply enjoying the rhythm of longer runs, this plan supports consistent, sustainable progress.

At its core, Run Further builds your aerobic capacity and physical resilience. Weekly long runs increase gradually to extend your distance, while easy runs and steady efforts keep you strong and adaptable. This balance allows your body to handle higher volumes safely, reducing the risk of injury or burnout as your endurance develops.

Unlike race-focused plans, Run Further is built for year-round training. You set your current and target mileage, and the plan adapts around your schedule and ability. Instead of chasing short-term intensity, you’ll develop strength, stamina, and confidence that last well beyond the program.

Fully personalized to your fitness and lifestyle, Run Further is perfect for anyone looking to build a strong foundation. Whether you’re preparing for a future marathon cycle, increasing your volume for overall fitness, or simply curious about how far you can go, this plan gives you the structure to grow your running base - at your pace, on your terms.

Hi! You’ve committed to going further, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Longer runs take patience and consistency, but together we’ll build your stamina, strengthen your base, and help you discover just how far you can go.
