ABOUT THE TRAINING PLAN - NOVICE 1
This Novice 1 Half Marathon Training Program is designed both for beginner runners who want to prepare for a 13.1-mile race, but also for experienced runners interested in a fail safe program that will help them to excel without making excessive demands on their time.
Novice 1 is designed for newcomers, individuals who have done very little or even no running before. If you are fit enough to finish the Week 1 long run of 4 miles--even if you have to walk the distance--Novice 1 will get you ready to complete a half marathon in 12 weeks.
Before starting to train for a half marathon, you need to possess a basic fitness level. If you are over age 35, you probably should see your doctor for a physical exam, but assuming no major health problems, most healthy people can train themselves to complete a 13.1-mile race.
The training plan assumes you have the ability to run 3 miles, three to four times a week. If that seems difficult, consider a shorter distance for your first race. You can try our best selling Ease into 5K app which will prepare you to run 3 miles three times a week.
* Twelve weeks long
* Run three days a week
* Cross train two days a week
* Rest two days a week
* Two regular runs a week + one long run each week
* Long runs range from 4 to 10 miles
* The plan finishes with the 1/2 marathon on race day

Because this app needs accurate location information, this app requires a device with a GPS antenna, therefore the app works with iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPhone 4, and 4GS and is not compatible with the iPod touch.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Compatible with iOS 9.0, requires iOS 6.0 or greater.

Perfect app for beginners
Great training, glitchy apps
Ive used several apps from this developer including the c25k bridge to 10k and this is the third time Ive been through the 1/2 marathon training. Ive been disappointed by the apps consistently. Hals coaching and the progression are great, but the app is one of the worst apps of any kind that Ive used. It quits unexpectedly, and doesnt provide any warning, meaning that your progress that day is lost. Very unreliable to keep any training data. Cannot recommend anyone use it or any of the others in this series.
Save your money
I should have read the reviews and saved myself 10 dollars
Average application, but the training program is great
Today I just finished my first half marathon using this application and training program; The good: ------------------------------------- * The training program by Hal Higdon is great, no injuries (I combined the plan with resistance training) and I managed to finish on 1:47:44 with an average pace of 813/ Mi. Seriously, the program works! * I loved Hal Higdon comments while you run, they kept me motivated * The GPS is accurate (I always compared it against the Nike+ GPS and distances reported were very close or almost the same) * Is stable, I never had a crash with the application * You can see the splits and put comment on each workout, easy to access The bad (I base my comparison against Nike+ GPS, which is were I store most of my workouts): ------------------------------------- * Sharing on Facebook is broken, the link doesnt point to your workout but a link to download the app. Seriously, no link to my workout map? * The app asked me several times for a ration but when I tried to enter it the popup just disappeared. Lame… * The Basic TrainingPeaks.com website stats are no better than the Nike maps website. For $10 I would expect to have more features enabled (Nike+GPS is less than $5). * The app doesnt have an option to work indoors, like Nike+GPS. If you have to run on a treadmill then youre doomed. * The app doesnt remember the non-workouts days, only the races registered on the GPS. I will give the app a 4 to 5 starts if the developers make it better than Nike+GPS, it has 3 starts because Hal Higdon program works.
Good but needs some enhancements
I was so excited that there was an app to help track my progress to my first half marathon, but I was really disappointed that I couldnt start the program on any day except a Monday. Im sure this works for most people with Mon - Fri jobs, but I cant do my long runs on a weekend since those are my main work days. Can you please add the ability to start the program any day of the week?
Way too expensive to have so many issues
Like other reviewers, I was really annoyed with the lack of flexibility on the start date. It also randomly deletes my workout and will switch from a day being marked "complete" back to not completed. Very, very annoying, especially considering I paid $10 for this piece of junk. If it were free, I wouldnt complain but when you spend that kind of money on an app, it should at least allow you to feel a *little* accomplished with your "complete" days adding up.... But instead you look down and see only one complete day in a week when youve logged something every day. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. wish I could get a refund.
Needs some tweaking
I like the program, but its frustrating that its erasing my workouts on the days I dont run. When I bike, swim or elliptical on cross days, Id like the app to show that I completed that day. For $10, I feel like thats not too much to ask.
