Race date
Sunday, September 20, 2026
Distance
half marathon
Location
Copenhagen, Denmark
Training window
A 10-12 week half-marathon block starts in late June or early July 2026.
Copenhagen is a SuperHalfs target for runners who want a serious half-marathon result without the recovery cost of a marathon.
The race demands threshold strength: the ability to run close to your limit without crossing it too early.
RunRight uses Apple Watch workouts, heart rate, and pace trends to adapt tempo work, race-pace intervals, and recovery days.
Course profile: Fast city half marathon where accurate pacing and threshold strength can unlock a big result.
Race-day conditions: Late September usually supports fast racing, but wind and travel still make effort control important.

| Goal | Pace min/km | Pace min/mi | Peak weekly volume | Training focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sub 1:30 | 4:16/km | 6:52/mi | 45-65 km | Threshold sessions, fast finish long runs, and precise pacing practice. |
| Sub 1:45 | 4:59/km | 8:01/mi | 35-55 km | Tempo strength, race-pace intervals, and enough easy mileage to stay fresh. |
| Sub 2:00 | 5:41/km | 9:09/mi | 25-45 km | Aerobic consistency, controlled long runs, and confidence at goal pace. |
| Finish strong | 6:00-6:45/km | 9:39-10:52/mi | 20-35 km | Progressive long runs, easy aerobic work, and race-day pacing discipline. |
Use tempo intervals and controlled continuous efforts so goal half-marathon pace feels sustainable.
Include segments at goal pace inside medium-long runs to build rhythm without overtraining.
Half-marathon tapering should reduce fatigue while keeping short fast efforts in the final week.
RunRight reads recent runs, long-run durability, pace trends, heart rate, and VO2Max signals from Apple Health to estimate what you can handle now.
