DESCRIPTION
This 5k training plan (up to 12 weeks long) has all the best workouts I've used over the years to help runners get ready to run your best for 3.1 miles but is geared toward the Endurance Monster type of runner. You'll perform several types of workouts from stamina workouts to speed workouts to goal pace workouts. The end result is that you'll feel fast and strong and you'll have race pace fully dialed in.
PREREQUISITE TRAINING
Before starting, you should be able to run 30-45 minutes on your regular runs and at least 70 minutes on your long runs.
MCMILLAN PACES
For each and every run, I'll provide the exact pace range for each run/workout (integrated from the McMillan Running Calculator). I'm also making your plan really flexible so it can flow with your life. You can easily move runs around based on your life schedule.
FREE PREHAB INCLUDED
In addition to the run training, I'm also going to have you perform our strength training routine that syncs with your run training as well as my form drills to help you improve your running form and learn to run fast. These "prehab" programs are included with your plan and build you into a strong, supple, injury-resistant runner.
