Length

20 Weeks

Plan Description

This plan builds very slowly, from no running to 30 mile weeks with an 8 mile long run, so you'll be ready to start one of the big mountain or Grand Canyon training plans! Taking precautions for injury prevention, building balanced front/back body and side/side strength, mobility, and building mileage in a healthy way is at least as important when you're first starting out as it is when you're preparing for something big! This is a 20 week plan that builds very slowly for new runners with big dreams, ending in a recovery week so you can roll right into one of the bigger training plans.
You do not need run experience to start this plan. If you have questions, email me at sarah.haubert@hotmail.com

This plan includes:
Scheduled runs with direction for effort level, time or miles, and heart rate zones
Fun & challenging progressive strength workouts for injury prevention, performance, and resilience building.
Mobility and injury prevention
Dynamic warmups
Tips on recovery, how to handle soreness
Mindset training for positivity, discipline, and consistency
Direction for if the plan is too hard or too easy
Tips on building up mileage and trail runs
