Trail Running 8-week Base Plan
Trail Running 8-week Base Plan
Length
8 Weeks
Plan Description
This plan is designed for beginner to intermediate runners looking to develop a base of mileage and strength in the pre-season before starting a more specific race plan.
Previous experience should include running 15-20 miles per week and completing 4-5 sessions of training each week.
Athletes are encouraged to use a heart rate monitor but the workouts describe monitoring intensity by perceived effort, as well. Access to a gym or minimally-stocked strength facility is also helpful.
