This programme be adapted to suit a variety of levels of fitness; it is a maintenance programme

When introducing a new exercise regime into your plan, even if you are already very fit, you need to do so with care, whilst you will be working the muscles you use in trail running, you will be doing so in a different, at times much more intense way. Start gradually and if anything hurts beyond expected muscle fatigue, back off and take some time to rest.

There is one day off planned each week, usually Friday.

It assumes you do not have access to any equipment other than a skipping rope (non-essential)

It works on a three week cycle, the idea is that you can repeat the cycle as many times as needed until you are able to get back out onto the trails.

If you are not sure about any of the exercises please do contact me at clarepearsonysn@gmail.com, I would far rather you did this and cause yourself an injury by doing an exercise with poor form

• Weeks 1-2 are 'hard' weeks with workouts planned for 6 days to work on endurance as well as up-hill running strength.


• Week 3 is an easy week where you can absorb the training, have a mental break and focus on others things


• Once you are able to get back outdoors start with an easier week of running and build in run workouts gradually to avoid injury.

It is based on a 3 week cycle (2 weeks hard and one week easy).
