-5 training sessions in an average week with two days of pure rest.
-Detailed workouts that will prepare you for a trail running race even if you don't have access to trails or long hills for training.
-Weekly Training Tips to help support your running through nutrition, recovery practices, and mental preparedness guidance
-Attainable long runs and interval workouts specifically targeted at preparing you for the many hills on this race course.
