Plan Description

100kmbanner

My training plans are designed for runners looking to compete and complete any distance. I've built this plan with cumulative fatigue in mind. That is, each week is structured to build on the week before, so that your fatigue and subsequent fitness progress throughout the plan. Each individual week may not look overly demanding, but after three weeks in a row your long run or final rep starts to feel like the last stages of a race. That is exactly the concept of cumulative fatigue. You can't go out and run a race every weekend, so you need to train in a way that is going to give the specific, fitness, and conditioning you need to run to the best of your abilities!

I've incorporated a variety of high and low stimulus sessions throughout each week to keep your physiology and your psychology engaged right up until race day. I've also included recovery weeks to stop you Type-A's overtraining! 😉 I have designed this plan with the intention of any athlete using it to smash their PBs in this distance. Or if its your fist time, getting you across that finish line in your goal time

I have been racing, studying and coaching endurance sports for my entire adult life. For me, endurance training isn't an afterthought or a chore, it's a way of life.

Early mornings, blisters, afternoon naps, getting excited about the latest Garmin release, that's who I am.
