Warm Up:

Half Marathon Survey 2018

The first Half Marathon training group is doing amazing! I’m super proud of them!!

And a lot of you have been asking when the next group is starting and for a training plan that will help you lose weight, PR, run a sub-2 hour half marathon and more. So I’ve been working on a half marathon guide that covers all the bases! But it’s A LOT of information!

So I put together this Half Marathon Survey to see what you need to run your best half. Full disclosure – I don’t know how I’m going to launch this Half Marathon Training Plan but I’m hoping it will be available in June.
