Triathlon Coaching NZ


Designed for Intermediate runners who are looking to run 5km faster than 20min. This proigramme is for runners who can already run 5km in 20:42 or faster. The primary goal of this training plan is to prepare you to run 5km UNDER 20 minutes


Crafted by myself, Ray Boardman PGDipSportsMed, PGDipRehab, PGCertSc (Exercise Science), BSc (Anatomy), DipSportsStudies this plan encapsulates my passion for the sport, my experience from completing in running & triathlon events and my success coaching hundreds of runners and triathletes.


The duration of this training plan is 10 weeks long, this plan progresses through phases to build you to your peak performance. Each week contains three to four run sessions, two strength sessions and a stretching session. You will build up to 90 minutes of running in a single session. It is essential to use power as the key metric for this training plan, whether you use Stryd or native Garmin or Apple power.


Prior to using this plan, you should be able to run for 60 minutes and 5km under 20:42. 


Purchase of this plan gives you access to my fortnightly coaching calls where you can ask me any training or racing related questions.
