“What if I train hard for 16 weeks and nothing happens?”

Training to break the 2-hour half marathon barrier is like a complex machine with a lot of cogs and wheels you can position in different ways.

If you train specific to your 9:09 mile pace correctly, your racing results will flourish with the help of effective and proven training strategies the best marathoners in the world follow.

If you focus on high mileage and less on quality mileage, you risk missing breaking the sub 2-hour half marathon barrier — frankly — that sucks and that is what we want to ensure you never experience.

Unfortunately, this is far more common among marathoners and half marathon specialists that I care to discuss. Here's what usually happens

You train hard and you’re not quite able to sustain the pace, and you’re growing impatient.

The rate of your progress has been downright sad. You are making some gains, but at your pace, it may take years to see the progress you’re aiming for.

To speed up the process, you have tried purchasing or trying out cookie-cutter 2 hour half marathon training plans online to no avail. After all, you’ve seen countless online coaches and websites create sub 2 hr half marathon training plans promising amazing results.

You may have watched a few webinars, read a couple RunnersWorld blog posts and implement what you’ve learned. At least you have tried to do your best because the marathon strategies you followed may have been superficial and vague. But you tried to make it work. Somehow.

This is your last hope, the ace up your sleeve. If this doesn’t work, you’ll be back at square one.

And then … it doesn’t work.

You followed a cookie-cutter sub 2-hour half marathon plan. You cut a few seconds off your old best, but your dreams of breaking the sub 2 hour half marathon are, yet again, crushed.

Thinking back, you conclude that you’ve been too ambitious to begin with and you promise yourself never to do that again. Seriously, where do you even start with trying to sustain 9:09 per mile pace over 13.1 miles?

Making a decision to finally break the sub 2-hour half marathon barrier by investing in training schedules and coaching is one thing.

But following that through successfully is an entirely different world.

When you decide to train efficiently to run a 1.59.59 half marathon, you’re bombarded with conflicting information about what the best training strategy in order to do this.

When you try to pace yourself over the distance, you’re faced not only with the many complexities of holding 9:09 mile pace without slowing down but also the fact that the unknown of if what you are doing in training is scientifically sound. And often times it seems impossible to keep up with noise of so many people telling you how to become a 1.59.59 or faster half marathoner.

That’s why at one point you may be even consider hiring an elite marathoner, only to realize that finding someone with years of priceless expertise and in-depth background about the half marathon is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And when you finally find him/her, the cost of hiring an elite athlete and consultant makes you think twice about how to proceed.

It might seem like you’re left with no options and that it would be better just to forget about investing in your personal development as a marathoner.

But there’s one more option left.

Now just imagine what you could do if you could use leverage by following a proven step-by-step system that would help you sustain pace, run faster and not hit the so-called “Wall”.

Imagine the rush of excitement you would feel if you could get a deep understanding of how to train in order to clear lactic acid faster than it is building up in your bloodstream when you race, gain confidence, and use this strategy to your own advantage.

Imagine learning how to do all of that from someone that has done what you wish to do and broken not only the sub 2-hour half marathon but also the sub-2:20 marathon barrier.
