What do the world’s best runners have in common? They follow a plan, and so should you

Whether you’re about to run your first half marathon or want to set a PR, it’s a good idea to train according to a plan. This way, you’re sure to get variety in your training to build speed, endurance, and strength, as well as boosting motivation and making it less tempting to skip a workout. And remember: The better prepared you are, the more fun the party will be.

Group training in Copenhagen

Running is more fun when we do it together in a community. That’s why we organize free group training the last seven Sundays before CPH Half. We run from Østerbro Stadium in Copenhagen at Østerbro. There are many different pace groups so that everyone can join us. The Facebook group communicates in Danish.

Local community training

Do you not live in Copenhagen or the surrounding area? Then, you can join one of the many local training communities located all over Danmark. The time for the group training varies from club to club. What they all have in common is that they are looking forward to welcoming you to their community. This site will be updated before the summer of 2025.

Get inspiration for your training

Motivation, structure, and development. There are many benefits of following a training plan. That’s why our elite coach, Christian Friis, has designed a 12-week plan that you can download for free.
