This is a 6-week couch to 5k training plan - 3/4 days of training per week, with your race day being in the 6th week. This is NOT a PR training plan; it is meant for people who have some general fitness but are beginner runners. Use this plan so you don't wake up on race day wishing you would have trained!
Hammer & Axe Training was born out of a vision shared by a handful of elite distance runners. We found in our training that we ran our best when we committed to training our speed and strength equally. A focus on strength made us durable, strong, and prepared for the adversity that racing brings. A focus on speed made us confident, efficient, and ready to move when the right moment arrived. We wanted to bring this feeling of speed and strength to as many runners as possible.
