The Program
This 12-week training experience is designed to help you enjoy a summer of guided, intentional training alongside a supportive run community.
Do any of these sound like you?
You’ve always thought about aiming for a half marathon, but you just felt uncertain you could do it… not sure about what training plan to follow, or whether you’d have the time to stick with the plan.
You’ve completed races in the past, but it’s been a few years since you’ve made it to a starting line.
You run races on a regular basis, but would love the support of a coach + a team to make the training more fun!
Whether this is your first 13.1, or you’re taking aim at your next strong finish, this is the Team for you!
Do I really need a coach, a team?
Training for an event can feel complex when you’re trying to figure it all out on your own.
How much running? How fast should I go? How many days each week?
What if I start to have pain?… Or my legs are sore for multiple days in a row?
What if I miss a workout, or a whole week?!
Team True Stride 13.1 is here to not only take away the guesswork, but provide a clear training path, so you can focus on showing up and enjoying your runs.
We’ll be building the physical and mental skills that support strong and sustainable running.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Run Coach, I develop training that respects how the body adapts to challenging workloads. That adaptation is not simply a physical process. Expect to grow in confidence and self trust through the process, and have some fun along the way!
Am I Ready?This program is set up so that you can select your own pace per run- you’ll be guided by effort targets. This style of training applies to varying levels of runner experience.
Since this is a just a 12-week plan to get you prepared for a half marathon, having some training mileage in place ahead of program start is highly recommended.
To get prepared for a safe and effective program, recent running or run/walk targets by June 1:
Total weekly run or run/walk mileage: up to 12-15 miles
Longest single run or run/walk: up to 5-6 miles
Program Structure
Within the 📲True Stride Training App you’ll find a 12-week training plan that offers flexibility to help you not only get half marathon ready, but keep you from feeling overwhelmed in the process.
