This 20-week trail running plan was designed for a runner with some experience or knowledge of aerobic endurance running and speed work. You should be able to run 45 minutes before starting this plan.
Initial baseline testing (lactate threshold run test) is included to create training zones, and customize the plan to your initial fitness level.
The structured training uses heart rate, but an RPE scale chart is included - workouts should sync to most training devices.
Regardless of your experience on the trails, this plan will prepare you for your race with workouts that increase in challenge at a safe pace. You will have email access to the plan author should you have any questions
