Plan Description

Thank you for considering a training plan written by the expert coaches of Grn Mchn Multisports. This plan was designed to guide athletes through HR training in preparation for a MARATHON distance race. Please consult your physician to ensure you're healthy enough to take on this endeavor. Grn Mchn Multisports, LLC is not responsible for any injury, illness, or over-training incurred by following a plan without the guidance of a coach.

We HIGHLY recommended contacting our coaches for Threshold HR testing to help establish HR zones that are referenced throughout this plan. We have developed our own zones, which may or may not line up with zones you have established through your own methods. Email us at grnmchnmultisports@gmail.com for a copy of the strength log this plan references or if you have any questions.

Good luck and Giddy up!

About Grn Mchn Multisports:
Grn Mchn Multisports was born out of the belief that quality coaching should be accessible to all athletes.

Since training without goals is merely exercising, every prescribed workout has a goal and purpose. We believe that long term success is only achieved when an athlete is patient, diligent, and consistently following a purposely written plan. Our plans prioritize development of the aerobic system, race specific energy management and injury prevention. We also believe there's more than one way to build durability. We find it safest to apply the majority of the intensity on the bike. Runners love their MEGA long runs, but we have kept our athlete's exposure to injury at a minimum through the use of frequent runs and split long runs. Our main principle of consistency is tarnished if an athlete is sidelined with an injury.

Our results speak louder than any words. Catch up with our training team to see what our athletes are up to. Grn Mchn Multisports athletes are quick to support one another and we are stronger as a unit than a bunch of individuals. If you wish to become part of this family, feel free to reach out.
