Why the half suits this season
After menopause, the half marathon hits a sweet spot. The training load is meaningful but recoverable, which matters when estrogen has dropped and recovery takes longer. You get a real goal without the relentless mileage of a marathon build, leaving room to keep strength central.
How Phaes builds your half
A goal-race plan, driven by your check-in
Set your date and Phaes builds a progression toward it, with a long run that grows sensibly and quality work placed where you can absorb it. A rough night or a flat-feeling day reshapes the week instead of breaking it.
Strength at the center
Heavy strength stays in through the build to protect bone and muscle and keep you durable, with day-level locking and a load guard so strength and running do not stack into injury.
Recovery as the limiter
Recovery decides how the build goes, so the plan spaces hard work around your real state rather than a fixed calendar.
