Plan Description

This plan will help someone of limited fitness level train for the Gower swim run event, or any other swim run event where the course is on the fells. The plan will help you become more familiar with fell running and open water swimming. The plan can be used by those with an increased fitness level by running the sessions marked as walking.
All outdoor sessions are based on time rather than distance so are better adapted to all fitness levels. The plan includes strength training which is vital for performance and injury prevention. The program will steadily increase your fitness level and then taper ready for race day.
