Personalized Training Right from the Source

Developed by experts at NYRR's Center for Runner Training and Education and powered by MapMyRUN, the Official NYRR NYC Half Training Plan is the first-ever fully customized half-marathon online training tool.
You'll get a personalized regimen to help you achieve your NYC Half goal!
The 10-week program starts January 9, and is available for purchase here.
Tier 1: Virtual Trainer
There’s no other runner quite like you—and there’s no other half-marathon quite like the NYC Half. Tell us your running history and we’ll create a training schedule just for you. Don’t have a running history? Not to worry; we’ll build a plan to carry you over the finish line. Your plan will also be customized based on our NYRR experts’ knowledge of the NYC Half course. As your training progresses, your tailor-made plan will adapt—giving you an achievable goal, plus valuable information on nutrition, injury prevention, and many more aspects of half-marathon training.
Price: $65
Tier 2: Virtual Trainer Plus
Training for a half-marathon is tough, and no one understands that better than a coach. With this option, you’ll receive a customized online training regimen and one-on-one e-coaching from one of NYRR’s experts.
E-mail your coach for advice on pacing, nutrition, gear, race tactics, or just some encouragement to get you out the door. Your coach will keep you honest: He or she will monitor your progress, change your plan as your fitness improves, and cheer when you reach important training milestones.
Price: $155
Tier 3: Virtual Trainer Plus NYC, with 3 Long Training Runs (for locals only)
Every professional athlete starting at the sound of the horn on March 18 will have prepared for the race with a coach—and you can, too. This option includes the online training plan and personal e-coaching, plus three Saturday long runs in with NYRR coaches, which you’ll do at key points in your half-marathon buildup. You’ll benefit from live form analysis, racing advice, and other valuable info.
You’ll also get a technical long-sleeved training T-shirt!
Price: $205
