The plan includes endurance runs, light quality sessions, race-specific workouts, and complementary strength, mobility, and stretch sessions.

❤️ Training Methodology


Training is based on time and heart rate rather than distance, helping you control effort and reduce injury risk. The program focuses on building aerobic capacity, improving consistency, and gradually introducing faster running. Progressive load is carefully balanced with recovery for steady and sustainable development.

Base (9w): Build aerobic endurance, strength, mobility, and durability.
Specific (8w): Focus on threshold development, running economy, and efficiency.
Pre-Comp (6w): Introduce race-specific sessions, longer efforts, and nutrition practice.
Taper+Race (1w): Reduce training load and arrive fresh, fit, and ready for race day.

⚙️ Requirements


TrainingPeaks-compatible watch or GPS.

Chest-strap HR monitor (wrist HR not accurate enough).
