PERSONALISED & PROVEN
RUNmodular plans offer a race-proven format that has powered 100's of multisporters to surpass their race-day goals. Speedwork, distances and race pace interval durations / rests get more challenging as plan ability rises through ATHLETE to PODIUM. All workouts have built in progression challenge meaning they get tougher the more race fit you get
CUSTOM MODULAR
You’re probably not equally strong across all multisport disciplines. Most one-ability plans don't adjust for this - you crush some workouts, others are a struggle. Asymmetric training across disciplines means lost performance gains. For you, the uncommon athlete chasing elusive 70.3 minutes, it's time to train different!
racestronger®CUSTOM single-discipline modules allow you to finesse each of your individual disciplines by ability level intensity and training metric and combine into one-fit-for-purpose plan. They integrate together seamlessly to create a perfectly weighted 'no compromise' endurance training programme designed by you, for you. Create yours here
