The Half Marathon Mastery Program
Crush your next half marathon with speed and confidence!
The half marathon is both the perfect stepping stone for the full marathon, as well as a uniquely challenging and rewarding race distance in its own right.
Because running a fast half marathon requires a careful balance of both speed and endurance, training for the 13.1 mile distance presents unique challenges for those who dare to take it on.
You know it will take months of preparation to run a successful half marathon.
There will be hard days and sacrifices made along the way, but you know it’s all worth it.
You also know you’ll need to give a lot to get ready.
Don’t you want to make sure you train the right way?
Have you ever wondered…
How far should I be running?
Am I running enough? … or maybe I’m running too much?
And what should I do about speed work? (That’s a whole other can of worms!)
Maybe you’ve tried different training plans before but weren’t quite sure how to follow them…
Or maybe you’ve struggled to stay consistent with a program because it wasn’t truly appropriate for you.
Perhaps all you’ve ever done is just go out and simply run miles.
You know optimal half marathon training is a lot more than just slogging miles, but you’re not quite sure what to do differently.
If this sounds like you, then trust me… I get it.
I felt this way too when I was first starting running seriously.
Learning how to run correctly can be overwhelming.
But learning how to train the right way was so rewarding and so transformative in my performance that it led me to becoming a coach myself.
I love how running makes me feel and I want to share this experience with passionate athletes like you.
Over the years, I’ve taught hundreds of runners how to train like an athlete and confidently chase after their goals.
So are you ready to become a better half marathoner?
It’s time to stop winging it and commit to training the right way.
Your body is strong, your mind is strong.
Over the course of 18 weeks, my half marathon training program will help you develop the confidence and skills you need to run stronger and faster than ever before.

Is This Half Marathon Training Program for You?
This training program includes multiple different options for mileage progression, so whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advance runner, you can choose the amount of mileage that is most appropriate for you.
All of the training plans in this program follow a similar trajectory and style, but are appropriately scaled to your specific mileage needs.
This ensures your long runs and workouts will be of appropriate length and intensity to keep you progressing in a sustainable way towards your half marathon goal.
The first 5 weeks of this training program consist of healthy habit and routine building base mileage, followed by 13 weeks of half marathon-focused speed development, endurance building, and long run workouts which culminate in your goal half marathon race.
Runners should be comfortable running at least 15 miles per week before starting this program, although modifications can be made for runners starting with a smaller base of fitness. Likewise, the most advanced plan peaks at 60 miles per week but this can easily be increased for those who want to run more mileage.
Athletes with less than 18 weeks to go before their goal half marathon can jump into the plan mid-way with slight modifications described in the plan documents.
Confidently Chase After Your Dreams
My training programs have helped hundreds of athletes confidently chase after their dreams.
The Half Marathon Mastery Program will prepare you to run with more confidence and faster than ever before.
Here’s what Nicole D wrote me after following my half marathon training program:
Subject: Thank you times a million
Wrapping up what felt like a magical first half in NYC. I officially finished 5 minutes better than I was expecting to run!
My goals were…1. get to the start line healthy
2. finish
3. not walk
4. run faster than my projected time because i knew my fitness was betterCrushing my goals in my first half has me itching for my next race.
I owe a lot of this to your support and guidance!
I appreciate you immensely for helping me balance training to stay healthy.
Because of you I feel more confident, and like I have a home in endurance sports now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Am I “good enough” to follow this training program?
A: I specifically designed The Half Marathon Mastery Program to help athletes of all ability levels. Everyone deserves to train like an athlete and will benefit from training the way the best athletes do. Using the tested and proven techniques contained within my training, I’ve helped athletes in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s run faster and more confidently than ever before. There are multiple different training plans contained within the program, so you can choose the plan that’s most suitable for you when you start. As you improve over time, you can move on to the more advanced plans contained within the program.
Q: Is now the right time for me to start this training program?
A: There’s no better time to get started training “the right way” than now. It takes years to develop into the best runner that you can be. When you get on the right track and stay consistent with it, you will continue to see improvement for many months and years to come. Don’t delay reaching your true potential any longer by continuing to wallow about with your running. It’s amazing what you can accomplish in just three months time when you commit to a proven program and see it through. After you start this training program, I bet you’ll find yourself saying, “I wish I learned how to train like this sooner.”
Q: Couldn’t I get this information for free online or for cheaper elsewhere?
A: Probably. But it would take you countless hours to wade through the mountain of content on YouTube, Google Search, and reading the 100’s of books on half marathon training. You will also take a lot of wrong turns along the way. Running is a simple sport at it’s heart, but the overwhelming amount of content and different opinions out there will leave you jumping from one training philosophy to the next and never making any consistent progress. There’s also a ton of bad advice out there and it’s hard to tell what is trustworthy. To become your best it’s essential that you commit to one trusted system and see it through. I’ve compiled everything I’ve learned from 5+ years of full time coaching and successfully training 100’s of athletes to create this training program. When you buy this training program, you get information that is straight to the point and proven to work. I stand behind my advice 100% and know it works. You can look at the success stories and reviews from my athletes to see that this works. The Half Marathon Mastery Program will save you time, frustration, and wrong turns of trying to figure it all out by yourself.
Q: What if I have questions or need support during my training?
A: You can get support throughout your training within The Knighton Runs Training Community on Discord. The Knighton Runs Training Community is my online community exclusively available for athletes following my training programs. You can ask your questions inside and get answers from me and fellow athletes following the program. When you purchase The Half Marathon Mastery Program, you will also get discounted access to one-on-one video consultations with me, Coach Chris Knighton, as needed.
Q: I’m on the fence… what if I buy this program and realize it’s not for me?
A: If you are passionate about becoming a better runner and want to start training the right way, then I know my training program will help you run faster and more confident than ever before. I want you to be 100% satisfied with The Half Marathon Mastery Program and am therefore offering a 30-day money back guarantee to make purchasing it 100% risk free. If for any reason you don’t love my training program, just email me within 30-days of purchase for a full refund.
