My First Half Marathon

Taking on a half marathon is a big leap. This race represents crossing a threshold that goes far beyond the initial challenges of the running world. To run a half marathon, it’s not just about trying to run for longer—you need to prepare both your body and your mind to sustain the effort over more than 21 kilometers. The difficulty of this race is demanding, yes, but also incredibly rewarding once you finish it.

This race covers no less than 21 kilometers and 97 meters, and successfully completing it requires consistency, solid preparation, and a smart strategy. It’s the perfect distance if you’ve already run a 5K or 10K and are now looking for a new challenge to push yourself, build endurance, and even improve your speed over longer distances.

This type of race shouldn’t be taken lightly. It requires respect, planning, and above all, patience. Many runners make the mistake of trying to do too much, too soon. But what really matters here is building a solid base, respecting your pace, and enjoying the process. Because yes, training can be just as exciting as race day.

In our Runnify half marathon plans, you’ll find a clear and accessible guide, no matter where you’re starting from. The goal isn’t just to get you to race day—it’s to get you there as your best self. You’ll improve your endurance, strengthen your fitness, and learn to manage your effort so that crossing the finish line becomes just the beginning of what you can achieve.
