This plan is a 12 week buildup for those training for a 1 mile race with the 12th week being race week.
This plan utilizes the Norwegian Singles Method and does not include double threshold as the mileage does not warrant it.
Before starting this plan, you should be running at least 35 mpw of easy mileage as workouts start week 1.
Hammer & Axe Training was born out of a vision shared by a handful of elite distance runners. We found in our training that we ran our best when we committed to training our speed and strength equally. A focus on strength made us durable, strong, and prepared for the adversity that racing brings. A focus on speed made us confident, efficient, and ready to move when the right moment arrived. We wanted to bring this feeling of speed and strength to as many runners as possible.
