8-Week Off-Season Training Plan
This plan is designed to keep athletes moving through the off-season. We will incorporate 15-25miles/week of running along with cross-training activities.

Be sure to keep things relatively easy during this portion of the year. This is meant to help you recover while staying fit.

8 Week Threshold Development
The goal of this training plan is to increase time at threshold and VO2 throughout the weeks. Weekly volume will stay relatively consistent with only an increase in intensity serving to create change. Athletes should be prepared for 5-6 days/week running with 25-40 miles/week volume. Emphasis each week will be on key threshold or VO2 sets. Base runs are meant to maintain volume and help athletes recover. Do not over exceed easy run paces. At the end of these 8 weeks, please perform a 5k test. If your threshold pace changed, you should see new zones and be able to re-apply this training plan if more threshold work is desired.

Plan
12 Week Run Speed Development
This plan is designed for runners with a weekly base mileage of 25-40 miles (40-65km). Throughout this plan, the weekly volume will stay around 25-30 miles each week. Runners are allowed to add more base volume as needed, but focus should remain on speed workouts. Due to the nature of training for run speed, it is recommended that athletes take extra recovery days if their legs are sore of fatigued from prior workouts. By the end of these 12 weeks, runners should see an increase in their threshold, v02, and running efficiency. Performing a 5k, 10k, or half marathon following this plan should result in faster times.

50k Trail Run Training Plan
This training plan starts at 25 miles/week and builds to 60+ miles by the end. The first 10 weeks of this plan are designed to build athletes aerobic endurance. The final 10 weeks are specific to trail running demands and meant to peak fitness before competition. Due to all trail events being different, it is recommended that athletes run trails or in conditions that will mimic race day. This plan will ensure your fitness is ready, but individuals should seek out vertical gain or elements to help maximize their readiness. As always, if a runner needs additional days off, please take them. Key days in this plan are Wednesdays and the weekends. You should make those your top priority. Enjoy!
