Our Top Marathon Training Plans

Our marathon plans rely on the Hansons cumulative fatigue effect to help you build durability and avoid injuries.

See our marathon training plans.

Our runners have achieved thousands of PRs and Boston qualifiers using our training plans. Train with us to show up confident and finish feeling strong.

Most Popular Half-Marathon Training Plans

Half-marathon is sometimes called the “perfect endurance race distance.” It’s long enough that you can’t fake it but short enough to enjoy the process of training and racing several half-marathons in a year.

Our half-marathon training programs are based on the Hansons methodology. Build your fitness to finish strong, race competitively, or prepare to step up to the marathon.
