Half Marathon Premium Strength Training Plan

The Half Marathon Premium Strength plan is 15 weeks long. It comes in 2 levels, Advanced through Standard, so choose the volume tier you can sustain. Pricing starts at $19.95 on TrainingPeaks, or it's included with Team 80/20.

It's the most commonly skipped ingredient in endurance training. Strength work improves durability and economy and protects against the injuries that interrupt training — and interrupted training is the biggest performance killer there is. These plans exist to make it fit around your endurance sessions rather than compete with them.

Strength Training Plug-ins are simple, minimal-equipment routines matched week-by-week to a specific 80/20 endurance plan — most are free with a code from the sample-week email. Premium Strength plans are fuller periodized gym programs with Standard and Advanced tracks, also aligned to their companion endurance plan's calendar.

Each plan is periodized against its companion endurance plan, so strength volume peaks and tapers with your training arc and sessions are placed to interfere as little as possible with key workouts. Run both plans side by side on your TrainingPeaks calendar.

Through TrainingPeaks. After purchase you apply the plan to your TrainingPeaks calendar, and every workout appears with its structure and intensity targets. Workouts sync to most watches and head units, and your completed sessions are scored against the plan automatically.

Yes. Team 80/20 is $16.58/month when paid annually and includes every 80/20 training plan, TrainingPeaks Premium, and Mind of Matt coaching. If you expect to use more than one plan, the membership costs less than buying plans individually.
