Training schedule for half-marathon beginners

Important information

The training schedule for this distance requires that you already are able to run/jog at least 10 km.
You will notice that the total distance of some training programs don't always match with the training's indications. For example some trainings on tracks with units of 5 x 2000m show a total distance of 17km. This difference comes from the warm up and recup time of about 3 km each.

Min = minutes, jogging = low, constant speed (ideally flat terrain, no accelerations)
