This 16-week plan is built for first-time 100K runners or anyone running under 70K per week who’s ready to step up - smartly and sustainably. This isn’t just about chasing distance. It’s about building the resilience, capacity, and mindset to not just finish your race, but to enjoy it.
What’s included:
✔️ A structured 16-week build, starting with 5 running days/week and progressing to 6
✔️ Training prescribed by time (not distance) to keep your body and mind thriving
✔️ All runs guided by RPE (rated perceived exertion) so you can train smarter, not just harder
✔️ Peak training weeks at 15 hours, including a 7-hour long run to prepare you for race day
✔️ Training for the Trail Guide – covering vertical gain, terrain, and adapting training to your course
✔️ Free Trail Running E-book – your go-to resource for mastering RPE-based training and training on the trails
✔️ All bonus materials conveniently linked in your Day 1 workout notes
Before you begin:
We recommend you're consistently running ~5 hours per week for the month leading into this program.
No complicated tech. No guesswork. Just a practical, proven path to your first 100K.
Ready to train for more than just the finish line? Let's get started.
We believe that each individual's ultimate goal is the realization of potential through high performance and great health. And, that performance and health can be symbiotic. My coaching foundation is built on serving complex cases, from Olympic Journeys to Chronic Pain. To do this I create a clear path for each individual by meeting them where they're at and guiding them to where they want to go.
