Training for a big race takes more than logging miles. It takes a smart plan, the right support and people who know how to help you run steady through the tough weeks and the good ones too.

That’s what you’ll find in Fleet Feet Roanoke’s Half Marathon Training Program in partnership with ASICS & in our 8K Training Program powered by Mizuno.

With two to three supported workouts each week, beginner and intermediate training tiers and running coaches who bring real expertise to every step, you’ll have what you need to train with purpose and finish with confidence.

Training for a half marathon looks different for everyone. Some runners are building on their running experience, while others are stepping into this distance for the first time. To help you train at the right level, this program offers two training paths for marathon training.

Level 1 is designed for runners who have an established routine averaging around 20 miles per week and feel comfortable running 4-6 miles at a time.

Level 2 is designed for runners who have an established routine average of around 25 miles or more per week. They feel comfortable running 6-8 miles and are looking to build on a previous half marathon experience.

About our 8K Training Program

Presented by Mizuno

You've conquered the 5K, and now you're ready to level up. Some runners are building on their previous distance running experience, while others are stepping into this distance for the first time and looking for the right guidance to get there. It takes more than running the miles. It takes support, structure and a community that keeps showing up. That’s exactly what you’ll find with Fleet Feet training programs.

Fleet Feet’s 8K Training Program brings runners together around a shared goal and a clear path forward. For 12 weeks, you will follow a progressive training plan designed to help you build endurance, confidence and consistency. You’ll come together for two coached, in-person group workouts each week, with a structured plan to guide your running on the days in between. Your training goes beyond the run itself. You’ll get guidance for warm-ups and cool-downs, strength work to build durability and help reduce injury risk, and mobility and cross-training to keep your body balanced. You’ll also get expert tips on gear, nutrition, recovery and more.
