**42 km Running Programme – Build Confidence, Go the Distance**
This structured 12-week training plan is designed for runners who can already complete a comfortable 21 km run and are ready to progress safely to a continuous 42 km. It provides a clear, realistic pathway to increasing distance without overloading the body or relying on guesswork.
The programme includes three runs per week with an optional recovery run, Intensity is guided using simple perceived effort cues, making the plan accessible regardless of pace, experience, or training environment.
Each session is purposeful, easy to follow, and suitable for road, treadmill, track, or trail running.
By the end of Week 12 you will be prepared to complete a continuous 42 km run at an easy, sustainable pace, setting a strong foundation for future goals such as improving time, building weekly mileage, or progressing to longer distances.
This plan is ideal if you want:
* A logical next step after your first 21 km
* A safe, structured route to 42 km
* A realistic plan that fits around a busy schedule
Simple, progressive, and effective — this programme helps you move from “can run” to “confident runner.”

I’m a husband and father to two young children.
I understand the challenge of balancing training with everyday life and believe every athlete has individual needs.
I coach each person accordingly, never using a one-size-fits-all approach. I thrive on helping athletes reach their goals in endurance and ultra-endurance events, specialising in running, multi-day events, and rehabilitation, while building confidence, resilience, and long-term performance, whether weight loss or the finish line.
