This plan is designed for experienced runners looking to sharpen their skills, improve speed, and achieve peak performance.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or refining your strategy, our plan will help you succeed.
As an advanced runner, I understand the challenges of balancing intense training, fine-tuning your pace, and staying motivated. This plan is built to help you overcome these hurdles.
This advanced plan is divided into two progressive training blocks, each with a specific focus to build you up for peak performance:
Block 1 (Weeks 1-4): Race Pace Development & Base Endurance
The first four weeks lay the foundation by building endurance and developing your race pace. You’ll mix easy runs with faster efforts to get comfortable with your target pace.
Block 2 (Weeks 5-8): Increased Volume, Race Pace Efforts & Tapering
The next block ramps up the volume and intensity. You’ll tackle longer race pace sessions, pushing your limits to build the stamina needed to maintain your speed. As race day approaches, volume tapers, ensuring you’re fresh and focused.
Maintaining race pace is tough, especially over longer distances. This plan includes frequent race pace sessions to build your confidence and endurance, making race day feel natural and achievable.
To keep you engaged, we’ve varied the workouts and added strength sessions to build resilience, ensuring you stay motivated while maintaining continual progression. Every session is explained fully so you know how it is helping you strive towards your PB.
The plan integrates with smartwatches for live tracking, and you’ll have access to a full training calendar to monitor your progress. Sessions are based on your target paces, ensuring you’re working towards your specific goals.
If you need assistance setting your target paces, feel free to leave your email when purchasing, and I’ll personally help guide you in setting them.
Additionally, you’ll have my full support via email whenever it’s needed. I’m here to help you stay on track and achieve your goals.
