īelow is a list of other times equal or superior to 58:43: In 2008, Running USA reported that the half marathon is the fastest-growing type of race. Participation in half marathons has grown steadily since 2003, partly because it is a challenging distance, but does not require the same level of training that a marathon does. The official IAAF world record for men is 57:31, set by Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda in November 2021 in Lisbon, Portugal, and for women is 1:04:02, set by Ruth Chepng'etich of Kenya on April 4, 2021, in Istanbul, Turkey. Ī half marathon world record is officially recognised by the International Association of Athletics Federations. The half marathon is also known as a 21K, 21.1K, or 13.1 miles, although these values are rounded and not formally correct. If finisher medals are awarded, the medal or ribbon may differ from those for the full marathon. It is common for a half marathon event to be held concurrently with a marathon or a 5K race, using almost the same course with a late start, an early finish or shortcuts.

5k training intensities (converted to Power).5k training: 12-week plans with varying mileage, or 8-week plans based on minutes.Base training intensities (converted to Power).Base Training: For those who want to build-up to the weekly volume of their desired plan, base training is a great opportunity to get comfortable and acquainted with formal training.If you prefer a paper-based training experience, we have PDF versions of various power-based training plans. We recommend using the power-based training plans available in the Stryd ecosystem (although they will be paid features in the future). There are also "base" training plans for those who are just starting their running journey. Stryd has power-based training plans available for those running 5k to marathon distances.
