Welcome to your training plan!
This plan is appropriate for beginner runners preparing for their first 5k even and more experience runners who need a relatively low volume training plan.
This plan uses the latest polarised training techniques and includes strength and mobility sessions to help you avoid injuries.
You plan includes:
- Structured Running sessions with RPE and Heart Rate
- Sessions can be used with Garmin, Polar, Stryd etc
- Strength, mobility, stability and flexibility workouts to help avoid injuries
- Cross training options such as cycling
- Email access to your coach
Before you start this plan build your training to the point where you are running at least three times a week and are doing aerobic exercise six times per week.
The training load starts at 2 hours and 10 minutes in a week 1 and peaks at 3 hours and 53 minutes in week 8.
You should consult your doctor before embarking on any physical fitness training. For any of the sessions, especially the strength and conditioning sessions, if you are unsure of the exercises then seek the help and advice of a professional near you.
