If you’re looking for an off-season or fitness-maintenance training plan with a focus on running form, you’ve come to the right place. This Stride Academy Level 0 plan combines cutting-edge best practices in workout design, technique drills, strength training, and gait retraining into a six-week program that will give you a more efficient stride and a solid fitness foundation to take into your next race buildup. A ShoeCue is required to get the most out of this plan.

Target Athlete

This plan in intended for novice runners and any other runners who require or prefer a very low-volume training regimen. You should be able to comfortably run for at least 35 minutes before you start the plan.

ShoeCue

To complete the Stride Academy Level 0 training plan you will need ShoeCue, which is a unique, textured insole that fits inside any running shoe and works by enhancing proprioceptive feedback from your feet to your brain during running. Essentially, ShoeCue tells your brain when you’re landing too hard, allowing you to adjust your stride automatically as you go.
