Races and distances
Marathon or half marathon: where to start
Good half marathon or marathon training starts from the runner's level, goal and available time. There's no one-size-fits-all preparation: paces, session frequency and experience all change how the journey should be built.
Distance matters too: preparing for a half marathon and preparing for a marathon take different work, in duration, progression and how training is managed.
Half marathon — 21.0975 km
Marathon — 42.195 km

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to prepare for a half marathon or a marathon?
There's no number of weeks that works for everyone. How long you need depends on your starting level, how consistently you train, the distance and the goal you want to reach. That's why the plan should be built on the runner's real situation instead of defaulting to a standard duration.
Can I set a specific race as my goal in ProRun?
Yes. You can choose the race you want to prepare for and use that goal as the reference for building your training journey.
