WHAT’S IN THE PLAN?



  • Structured running workouts. All workouts are made with TrainingPeaks workout builder. It’s easy to understand the structure of each running session. You can even upload a workout to your GPS device and follow the session in real time.

  • Weekly running drills. You’ll begin with activation drills in the initial weeks of the plan and progress to more challenging drills in later weeks.

  • Running technique tips. For every running session.

  • Nutrition tips around your key training sessions, explaining how to recover faster, hydrate and fuel during sessions.

  • One-to-two high-intensity sessions per week. These sessions will challenge your cardiovascular fitness, improve your running economy and serve as mental preparation to deal with higher intensity running come race day.
