Key Points

Goal: run a half marathon in 74 min (≈5:43 / mile) to test fitness at the end of week 12 of a marathon plan.
Warm‑up: 1 mi easy + drills, 1 km tempo, 4 × 60‑m strides.
Main set: 13 mi with a pacer at ~5:40 / mile; if feeling good, add 6 mi (total ~19 mi).
Keep splits even (5:41–5:47 early, 5:42–5:45 later) and monitor heart‑rate – threshold hit around mile 11.
Practical tips: use a trusted pacer, stay on consistent pace on hills, fuel with a gel at ~11 mi, and stay mentally flexible – “not all‑out” on the last miles.

Workout Example

Warm‑up (≈15 min) – 1 mi easy, then 1 km at tempo, finish with 4 × 60‑m strides.
