Description

Before diving into the specifics, it would be helpful to gather some key information about your current fitness level and running experience. Could you provide details such as: Your average weekly mileage and types of workouts you've been doing recently. Any recent races or time trials you've completed, along with their distances and times. Your short-term and long-term goals in terms of race distances, target times, and any specific races you're aiming for. Any history of injuries or areas you feel need special attention in your training. Once I have a better understanding of where you stand currently and where you want to go, we can sketch out a training plan. This could involve a breakdown of weekly workouts, incorporating various types of runs (long runs, speedwork, tempo runs), strength training, rest days, and strategies for tapering as the crucial race approaches.

Description

This will be for anyone that is looking to set up a plan with 12 weeks prior to their crucial event. We will set up the mileage based on your experience. Depending on your event, the training will be set specifically for that event. We will start from high volume of interval training and gradually decrease it as we draw near to your event.

$150.00 - 12 week plan

Purchase

Description

My training plan will be a hybrid mix between the Daniels and Lydiard system along with my own ideas and knowledge on what I can give. Given the hilly nature of the course, I want you to get a feel on running the hills to be better prepared to handle yourself. Depending on where you are in terms of fitness and mileage, we will start with 3-4 weeks of base training. We want to focus on volume in the early stages. Then we will wind down the mileage slowly as we build up the intensity of our workouts. As we wind it down, we'll be ready to get to my favorite part: tapering. We will experiment with either the exponential decay or linear step based on what you are most comfortable with. This will help you relieve tension in the days leading up to Boston.

Minimum Requirements

Give me proof that you have been accepted into running the Boston Marathon. If so, walk me through your mileage log and we will go from there.
