Half Marathon
Run & Strength Plans
Ready to conquer your next race? StrideHer's guided half marathon run and strength plans are designed to get you to the finish line strong. Our comprehensive plans cover all three bases: expertly crafted runs, progressive strength training, and essential mobility and recovery routines to support your journey. Whether you're just starting or are looking to run a better half marathon, we have a plan for you.
If you have more than 12 weeks until your race date, are currently running 1-2 times a week, and are able to jog a 5k, are self motivated, and are free of injury and cleared to run this is an appropriate choice for you.

I wouldn’t be where I am without you, so it feels very serendipitous that you saw me at the final stage of my training plan on that 18k run!
