Build a strong foundation for your next training cycle with this 8-week plan designed to deepen your aerobic base before adding speed work.
This plan is ideal for athletes with a base of at least 15 miles per week—whether you’re newer to running, starting a new season, or returning from injury. You’ll complete three runs based on mileage and two based on time each week to develop consistency and endurance.
If you’re not yet at this mileage, begin with the P3 Running 12-Week Beginner Run/Walk Plan or the 8-Week Beginner 5K Plan. It also pairs perfectly as a lead-up to the P3 Running 8-Week Intermediate Plan, which focuses on building speed.
The plan also includes Core and Hip Stability and Strength workouts with video instruction to help athletes care for their foundation.
Coach Michele is an RRCA Level II Certified Running Coach and Certified Specialist in Fitness Nutrition (ISSA). She trains for and races ultradistance events up to 100 miles and has coached multiple athletes to successful finishes at the 50K, 50-mile, 100K, 100-mile, and 200-mile distances.
