This 14 week trail running plan has been designed for rolling trail runs in the region of marathon distance to 50km.
It includes strength and conditioning and is largely based on heart rate. Some sessions are RPE based where this is more appropriate.
The plan has been written by Doug Stewart, a highly accomplished trail running coach that works with athletes of all abilities, including coaching athletes to victories in UTMB World Series races and top 10 finishes at the UTMB Finals in Chamonix.
The plan follows a typical pattern of two build weeks before a recovery week and is designed for races with moderate elevation change, there is also a version available for more mountainous races.
