Half marathon training goal
From 5 km to race day: the three numbers that tell you, weeks ahead, whether you'll be ready.
The goal
Run a half marathon
Due race day; check in weekly. Numbers are examples - change them to yours.
| Metric | Target | Why this number |
|---|---|---|
Longest run Each check-in is the new reading | 5 km → 21 km | The number that decides race day. Check in after each long run; the forecast says whether the build-up is on pace. |
Weekly distance Each check-in adds an amount | 25 km a week | Each run adds up toward the week's target, with a streak of weeks hit. |
Runs Each check-in adds an amount | 3 runs a week | Consistency beats big weeks - three runs a week is the habit underneath. |
GoalNexa forecasts each metric from its check-ins and gives the goal a health badge - on track, at risk or off track - long before race day.
Set it up
With your AI assistant
Connected to GoalNexa (setup guides)? Paste this - it shows you a draft before creating anything:
Create a goal in GoalNexa: "Run a half marathon", due race day (ask me for the date). Metrics: - Longest run (unit: km): start 5 km, target 21 km, latest reading - Weekly distance (unit: km): target 25 km per week, amounts added up - Runs (unit: runs): target 3 runs per week, amounts added up Check-ins weekly. Show me the draft before creating it, and let me change the numbers.
In the app
- Create your free account and pick "Website" in the first-run steps (or "New goal" on the dashboard).
- Add the goal "Run a half marathon" with its date, then its 3 metrics - start, target and unit as above. For an amount that adds up, set "Each check-in is" to "An amount to add to the total"; for a target per week or month, set "Target is for".
- Set each metric's check-in schedule to "Weekly" so reminders keep the numbers current.
Tips
- Tell your AI assistant "ran 12 km" after a run - it adds to the week's distance. When you beat your longest run, say so: "longest run 16 km".
- Behind on the longest run with weeks to go? The pace line shows how much each long run needs to grow.
