Choose Your Own Year Adventure - 12 Months of Personalized Coaching Training Plan

This training plan follows the natural seasons of a runner’s year, giving you a full 12-month rhythm that builds fitness steadily, intentionally, and without burnout. Here’s how the year breaks down: 1. Base Season — 4–5 Months Approx: November → March Build your aerobic foundation, consistency, and running rhythm. This is where you gain durability, efficiency, and the strength to handle harder work later. 2. Threshold Season — 2–3 Months Approx: April → June Introduce controlled tempo work to raise your ceiling, improve stamina, and make goal pace feel smoother. 3. Peak Season — 2 Months Approx: July → August (or leading to your fall race) Train specifically for your chosen event with long runs, race-pace work, and targeted workouts that build durability and confidence. 4. Sharpen + Taper — 3–4 Weeks Approx: September Reduce fatigue, stay sharp, and arrive fresh for your race. 5. Reset Season — 3–4 Weeks Approx: Post-race (October) Low-pressure movement, walking, lifting, and recovery before starting your next cycle. ⭐ Benchmark Tests Included Throughout the year, you’ll complete benchmark tests and races to track progress and adjust training zones. ⭐ Your Fall Goal Race By the end of the year, you’re tapered and ready to run your fastest races.
