All plans by this Coach

Length

8 Weeks

Plan Description

Designed for Sport category Cirque Series participants, this 8-week plan builds from a foundation of easy aerobic running, hiking, and functional strength into a race ready peak. No prior structured training is required.

Races in the Cirque Series typically cover 6 to 9 miles with 2,200–4,000 feet of gain and loss on steep ski resort style terrain. The races are short and relentlessly vertical. This plan prioritizes uphill efficiency, downhill confidence, and consistent weekly volume over intensity

First time mountain racers and experienced trail runners stepping up to vertical specific events, these plans meet athletes wherever they are.
