About Gayle

Hi, I'm Gayle Lindsay, a certified UESCA and VDOT running coach. I've been running most of my life and love sharing my passion for the sport with others. My personal best times include a 2:56 marathon, 1:23 half marathon, 35:59 10km, 18:01 5km and a 5:11 mile. As a coach, I believe in a personalised approach that tailors training plans to each runner's individual goals and abilities. Whether you're a beginner looking to start running or an experienced runner aiming to improve your performance, I'm here to provide the guidance and support you need to reach your full potential. Let's work together to achieve your running goals!

Description

Conquer 3 Races in 3 Days: 1 Mile • 10K • Half Marathon Ready to push your limits? This 10-week training plan is designed to prepare you for the ultimate endurance challenge — racing three distances across three consecutive days. From the speed of the mile to the grit of the 10K and the endurance of the half marathon, you'll build strength, stamina, and confidence every step of the way. Whether you're chasing a new PR or simply aiming to cross all three finish lines strong, this plan will get you there. Workouts are prescribed by time rather than distance, making this plan best suited for athletes who do not have access to a track or a measured route.

Minimum Requirements

There are no minimum requirements to get started. However, to ensure you get the most out of the program and set yourself up for success, I recommend being able to comfortably run 60 mins before signing up, as this is the distance of the longest run in Week 1 of the plan. Throughout the plan, there are 5 runs per week and weekly running volume ranges from approximately 2hrs45 to 4hrs30.
