    How it works

    • Easy runs. Long runs. One weekly stride session. That is the plan.

    • No tempo. No intervals. No track. The point is the engine, not the race.

    • Best plan in the library between A-races.

    Common questions

    Won't I get slow?

    No. You'll get faster at the same heart rate, every coach you'd respect would tell you the same.

    Can I race a 5K halfway through?

    Sure. The plan won't be tuned to it, but a tune-up race is fine.
