This efficient training plan balances recovery, intervals, strength, endurance to help you RISE above your current fitness level, or to jump start your running in the new year. The runs are listed in minutes rather than miles. The weekly mileage varies from runner to runner. This plan was made for people who don't have a lot of extra time to train and need efficient and specific workouts to prepare them to be able to race the 5k or 10K distance, or just feel good and strong.
I am a running coach who specializes in the marathon distance (BQ and beyond). I create periodized running plans that build to a peak performance. I've found that clients perform best with:
- adequate time to introduce, improve and perfect training principles
- effort based goals
- workout specificity
- racing experience
- prescribed recovery
- frequent communication
