8 week base building program.

Length

Plan Description

This is a simple base building program ideal for someone starting out with a specific race in mind and wanting to build a solid base before starting more serious training. It peaks off at 60km per week and will set you up for a second block of more serious training. It requires 5 - 6 running days per week but runs are short so an athlete could fit other activities in around the runs also.
