Plan Description
8 Week Weight Loss FAT-MAX progression: 4 Runs 🏃 + 2 Lifts 🏋️ (Full Gym)
Burn fat with metabolic zones. Hills, FatMax Tempo & Long Runs + Full Gym Hypertrophy.
.
LOSE WEIGHT. RUN STRONGER. NO GYM REQUIRED.
This plan eliminates "junk miles" to focus on the specific training zones that maximize fat oxidation. Designed for the intermediate runner, we combine 4 Quality Runs with 2 Full-Body Gym Sessions.
The schedule is engineered to optimize recovery: Strength days are placed between run days (Wed/Fri), allowing you to hit the key "FatMax" and "Hill" sessions with 100% freshness.
.
🚀 THE "FAT-MAX" ADVANTAGE
Most runners train in the "Grey Zone" (too fast to burn fat, too slow to build speed). We fix that.
- Thursday FatMax: A specific progression (35 to 60 mins) at your maximal fat-burning intensity (High Zone 2)
- Tuesday Hills: High-intensity power intervals to spike metabolism
- Saturday: Recovery run + strides
- Sunday Volume: Long duration to build the aerobic engine
.
