Winning is a Mindset Not a Spot on the Podium
This plan is for a beginner runner starting training for the first time or after a long break. The plan progresses slowly with lots of Zone 1 & Zone 2 running to reduce the risk of injury. Running form is improved through a variety of running drills & a speed development phase is introduced later on in the plan.
