Well, we couldn’t pass up on getting involved in this journey. So over the next couple of months, we are going to be catching up with Dan and helping him through to his first half-marathon.
But it’s not just his journey - we invite you to get stuck in. As we’ll be sharing tips, and Dan’s training program for you to follow, should you like.

Love this, great to see Dan getting into running.
Love this video and great to see GCN and GTN working together. Dan, we know you can do it - looks like a great plan from Mark - we will be training with you!!!
Fantastic! When I started cycling more seriously 3 years ago I found the wonderful GCN. Then when I decided to start running just over a year ago I found the equally fabulous GTN. How cool to see Dan crossing over. I am planning to do a 1/2 marathon in April, thank you for giving me a training plan!
I respect Dan for running even though he's an avid cyclist. I've recently got into running myself. I stay warmer during winter running vs being on the bike.
Good luck Dan! Looking forward to following along.
Love how Dan always gets suckered into challenges :D
Congrats on 500k subscribers! 🎉 And good luck to Dan!

I’m really looking forward to watching Dans progress on this nine week program, great stuff!👍👍
Great to see GCN Dan doing running, big fan of GCN but very much a runner, will be following along, that is an amazing time goal!!
Brilliant, looking forward to this series 👍
I’m on week 3 of your old half marathon training program and going strong thanks for all the info and training tips I really use them
Touched 1:30 HM at once , I will follow you Dan .. all the best 👍
I'm going to give this a go. Picking up fitness for first time since November and it sounds like a good time frame to crack a half out.
Big GTN & GCN fan . . . very impressed Dan, good effort and have fun with it :)
Great idea, good to see Dan going fast at something 😉. Sub 1.30 is quite quick. I'm going to join in and aim for a pb, currently 1.37. Good luck everyone.
Very cool Dan. Wish you the best. Totally get his thinking around doing it and working to improve.
wow.. 1st HM and already aiming 90mins 👍. my 1st HM (solo attempt) was 2.5hrs, did few TT im down to 2hrs. 1.5hrs is a lil too far for me. Good luck Dan
Good vid! Looking forward to charting Dan's progress 💪🏾
Dan looks so much better running now compared to the first video you did together where he looked really stiff so sub 90 mins is definitely on 💪 I'm currently 5 weeks into a 12 week plan for a sub 120 min half and a 35 min 10k and so far so good. Good luck Dan
I found Dan’s Reason’s for running to be nearly identical to mine. I have never been a runner, and at 43 single Dad, beating my cycling times etc are never going to happen. I have found it so motivating to continually drop my run times over the past three years. Also the easy to get ready, easy to get out, little clean up, no maintenance needs and costs have been great. Throw on some shorts and shoes and out the front door, back in 30-45 min and a great work out. My goal is a sub 20min 5k. I did my first ever half marathon distance last year, and my first ever triathlon in 2018.
It would be interesting if Dan's cycling FTP changes due to run training for 9 weeks without doing any cycling?
I can definitely relate to Dan's reasons for running. As a cyclist, I got into running when we had our first child. Being able to throw in a pair of shoes and go, rather than getting setup for the bike. I run a 19min 5k, so looking forward to this!!
Dan, congratulations on this goal. Very big fan of Gcn and Gtn. I myself started as a road racer 10km/half/Marathon/ultras then transition into duathlon and the to Half-Ironman to ironman. So you got my respect and now #getshitdone #godango21.1sub130 Woohoo Yeehaw.
All the very best Dan good luck
Wow! Just in time! I am building up my first Half Marathon, I am definitely joining in. Longest run so far was 17km with 4:50min/km pace. Thank you!

Wow! Thanks for this! I've done 2 full marathon, but without training plans, and result were 6:14 & 6:12 (barely made it to COT).
I am following the HM plan here and really appreciate the detail of it, thanks a lot . I also would like to have the plan for a Full Marathon if possible . Thank you so much and have a good days everyone !
Good to see you running Dan!
Bravo, I ran my first race, a 1/2 marathon at age 55 as well!
Thank you for this guided video I am going to start it
Great video! Thanks, and success to Dan! I'll join the challenge after my own crazy challenge this week: circumnavigating Jeju Island in South Korea. 240km in 4 days. 😅
Next I want to see Mannon GCN do 10k
I think Dan should take it to the next level and do a Triathlon after the run challenge.
I'm in! Thanks for the plan!

Great to have you on board! Let us know how you get on! 💪
I mountainbike for years. And years ago in the army I did weakly runs. Now in the lockdown I start running again. In 3 weeks and 5 runs I runned the half marathon in 1.55.I had 4 days sore muscles after.But now after my second one it was really easy.I hope I can do my first triatlon this summer and not get cancelled by covid issues.
Count me in! Good to hear open discussions about importance of bowel habit training which isn't the most palatable subject. Old glass Ketchup bottle analogy is hilarious! Maybe a separate video focused on this would be useful.
my half marathon plan, go out and run a half marathon after not running for 6 months besides a 5k a few days earlier, it worked for me.
I want to get below 1hr 30 for the half this year as well.. Dan will will smash this, he's a bloody decent runner and has a great engine from his cycling history
Good luck Dan! :)
Hi I have been doing a 12 week plan for a half marathon in July and just say thank you for the tips
Good video. My target is to be good enough to start this traing plan!
Glad to see Dan is still on the runner side! It has to be irony that your half got canceled two years ago, to try again now.
waaaaa, great :) Amazingly, Dan looks natural while running (IMO of course) And, 4:00min/km, high goal for "non runner", hope you make it :) :) Go for it Dan!! :)
Best of luck Dan. I had a cycling accident last July and had to be airlifted to hospital so I’m doing my first Half Marathon in 7 weeks (Strava virtual NYC half) to raise money for the Cornwall Air Ambulance. Wish I’d had this plan sooner as I’m now doubting the timeframe 😂
I’m never ever doing that! I’d destroy myself. But I’m absolutely going to follow these videos and the progress 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the training program :)

4 min/km, about 6:30 min/mi. That is really good. I'm doing the Strava half marathon virtual race in March, hoping for 1hr 45 lol. I can't believe he's going for 1hr 30 and running so fast. He should definitely get some swimming in and do a triathlon, maybe in July or August.
Wow it's pretty good I am gonna follow this workout and increase my 21km running speed 😁
Really good to see Dan do a fitness video after a long time off... wonder if part of the Half-Marathon plan will include cycling to help build up endurance 😂
I'm starting this training today for Vienna half marathon on 24th April. I'm going to Bratislava half marathon on 6th week's Sunday. My HM record is 1:51, the goal in Vienna will be anything better than this. Cross your fingers for me 🙂
I am focusing sub 90, right now my time is 1.48
I'm in! Good luck Dan and well done to Jude too the little speedster! Can I go on Zwift on the rest days? 😁
I printed it off, my very first half marathon is September but i want to work on this now and see how i do in 9 weeks.
Hey that is seriously good pace. I have done a half marathon. I set out in the event a bit fast, at around 5 minute km‘s, when my plan was 6 to 7 minute km‘s . I got to about 3/4 through the race, doing good, at that point I missed a hydration stop, and I just my mettle. I. Went from looking at a 21/2 hour half to just under 3 hours.. I am a heavier person circa 100kg.
This guy is awesome! Super funny. Just runs, no plan, relies on his bank of cycling training.
Go Dan! I know you are going to smash your projected time of 1:30 for the half.
4/km pace for a "non-runner" is quite impressing . I'll try to keep up with this plan.
I'm gonna do ½ marathon on July 24th currently running 3 times a week long run, 5k and speed run, also weight training 4x a week so this is as much as I'm willing to do
Well done Dan. Great to see you on GTN as well as your usual home. When will we see you in the pool?

Brilliant video and looking forward to following the progress. DB Max have a half marathon at Westonbirt School at the end of March 😄 Just wondering where you were filming ?- looks like a lovely place to run
I'm in... gotta find a Half, maybe will do a trail half. I've done 10 marathons with 3:16 PR and Boston in 2012
Excellent video! thats quite a pace ... not bad not bad. Probably due to those incredibly aero legs you got there ;-)
Hey GTN, I hope you guys read this! First, thanks for the plan! It is nice to have it since in exactly 9+ weeks I'll have my own HM! I'm not a native speaker, so could you please be so kind to explain what 'w/u', 'w/d' means in your plan? Would be super helpful! Thanks!
As a cyclist who runs a bit I will watch with interest. Good luck Dan. Anything under 1.30 is great.
Just ran my 1st 15k this morning before seeing this. I’m in...
Jaysus Dan Lloyd in black! He has definitely moved to the dark side 🌗
Great job Dan and good luck - how difficult will this plan be to follow if i still want to ride my bike at least 50 miles per week?
I’m going to give this 9 week program a try.👍🏽 Is there any food restrictions…. 🤔 Or Any foods I should eat more of to help with the program ?
For an ex-cyclist, he seems to have a good running form, e.g. hip flexors and straight back. Respect for that improvement in speed!
Wow Dan's is already faster than me... Good luck Dan

I'm doing the Edinburgh half in May. Only been running since March last year. I'm 51, and my best 5k is 31 mins 😕, best 10k is 1 hour 6 minutes.
I’m in
Yeehaa good on yer Dan
I’m in. Btw what happened to the plan for GTN to train Hank from GCN to an iron-Distance Tri?
First goid luck Dan sure you'll smash it, especially if your competitive side kicks in. For someone Dans age... 🤔😜 He's probably in a much better position than most people who start running "later in life". He's got good base fitness, good leg strength, a good body shape and is a good start weight. My biggest point however is that until now he's been doing a low impact sport mainly, so despite what they mentioned about being susceptible to injury through having used different muscles etc, his joints, especially his knees will be in good shape compared with people who have run for most of their lives. He certainly looks far better than he did when doing his other video with GTN.
Go Lloydy, save the mineral water until the 1/2 is done. Good luck with sub-90. Sprint duathlon next! Worlds & age group? Heather & Mark will get you there.
what would be dans target time? 🤔 excited much here 🤩💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Never thought that I would see the name Dan Lloyd with the word Marathon in the same screen, let alone in one sentence
"People always go for 3 hour marathons..." Me, who's done 2 marathons, 2 half marathons, and a shed load of 10k and 5ks ... "Whaaaat!?"
Would love to see a GTN vs. GCN Ironman or 70.3 team relay battle. I'm sure Dan would prefer his 1st 1/2 to be just a half marathon, not the circus that the vs. challenge would be. But his 2nd is a different story.
Maybe it's also a good idea to give Dan some running tips regarding his technique (arm-movement, shoulder-position, cadence etc. ). With a little more efficiency I bet he will be able to beat 1:20 on a 21k.
Yesterday I ran a half marathon at 5min/km. I"m going to try this plan and see how much I improve. See you in 9 weeks.

This weekend I did my half marathon: 4.38min/km it became. The training plan helped a lot!
I am a cyclist and I love to see Dan running!
Oh and can I do treadmill work or is road work best?
Doesn't surprise me the 4 min per km. Most good cyclists I know as also really good runners, there is something in the muscle make up. I am pretty crap at Cycling, Running and Swimming and always have been, but... I was very good at (County Level) Football, Long Jump, 100m (anything shorter than 200m I was very good at), Rugby, etc. There is definitely something in your muscle make up that determines what sports you will be good at IMO. Unfortunately, I will always be crap at Tri events but I will always give it my best, I probably could of gone far in Football, but it's crap.
improve 5k or 10k timings. I'm not preparing for a race.. How often should I try to run a hard 5k/10k. That's is how often should I try to set my PR? In most of your plans I see only race day as the day we set our PRs and the weeks prior to it is only recovery tempo speed and long runs.
Any chance you can get GCN’s Ollie on board with this? Purely so you can drop him (again) with your 4 min Km.
Hi GTN Team, when calculating me Z2 Heartrate according to the numbers you showed in the video, it got a discrepancy between HRmax(120-140) and HRthr (140-150) calculation. I'm quite sure my max and thr heart rate are correct, nevertheless which HR Zone should I follow?
I'd be lucky to break 2hrs this year.
