DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

It's nearing the end of October and your running season is coming to a close. 

You did alright this year.

Crammed in as much training as you could...

Managed to finish a few races...

Overall, you really can't complain.

YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY

Except you've got this nagging thought

in the back of your brain.

You know...

The one that says: 

"You can do better!"

You know it's true

so you vow to do better...

STARTING RIGHT NOW!

You decide to take advantage of

the next 3 months...

And really dial in your training so that

you don't fall behind like last year. 

You Google "off-season run training plan"

And get 1,960,000,000 results

You scroll down the page looking

for the best one...

Click on a few...

Instantly get overwhelmed...

Close your laptop and walk away.

You vow to come back to it when

you're not so tired... 

But you never do!

January 1st rolls around...

You decide it's time to get

your shit together!

And that means going all in on your training...

Starting right NOW!

You pick up your training where you

left off last year.

But quickly realize you've done

nothing for the last 3 months...

And you're in over your head.

Eventually, you give up...

And resign yourself to the fact that this

year will be just like last year.

You'll grind your way through the season...

Hoping that you do enough of the right stuff...

Secretly praying that you don't get hurt

😬

WHAT IF...

There was an easy to follow 12-week training plan

that outlined what you needed to do to be ready for your upcoming season?

WHAT IF... 

That plan included:

Walking, Running, Cross Training, Strength Training, and Mobility Training

With step by step instructions & videos...

WHAT IF...

All of your workouts were stored in one place

And that place synced up with your smartwatch? 

WHAT IF...

You could get personalized coaching

so that you knew exactly what & how much you should do to get the best possible results?

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING, RIGHT?!

The solution to your off-season confusion

In order to get results from your off-season training plan, it must include:

prepared for your planned races of the season!

Curious about what the training plan looks like? 

Here's a snapshot of how it will appear in your Training Peaks account.

Everything is mapped out for you.

Each workout includes specific written instructions and/or videos that you can follow step by step.

Here's what the Google spreadsheet version looks like:

If I've still got races on my schedule, can I use this plan?  

Yes, but only after you've completed your races.  You can buy the plan now and hang on to it until you're done racing.  Don't try to use this plan to train for your upcoming race(s), that's not what it's meant for. 

How many miles per week do I need to be able to do before I start this plan?  

This plan starts off with walking workouts and then builds to walk/run intervals and then Zone 2 runs.  You don't have to be running right now to use this plan. In fact, it will help you to start building up your mileage so that you have a good base of fitness going into your next season.  

How many days per week / hours per day does this plan require? 

The plan has something scheduled for every day of the week, but not every day is a walk/run day.  You'll do a Daily Shakedown 7 days a week, you'll walk or run 4 days a week, with strength training & mobility peppered in.  You should plan to allocate anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours a day.  

What if I can't do the workout scheduled for the day?  

You're welcome to shuffle the workouts each week to the days/times that work best for you.  As long as you do the total amount of work scheduled each week, you'll be on track to see results.

What if I don't have a Training Peaks account?  

Training Peaks offers a free option and this plan works with it.  Once you've signed up, I'll send you an email with step-by-step instructions for how to set up your account and load the plan onto your calendar. 

What if I've never used Training Peaks before...

It's very simple.  Once you've signed up, I'll send you an email with step-by-step instructions for how to set up your account and load the plan onto your calendar.  After that, all you have to do is open the app (or the desktop version) in calendar view.  You'll be able to see what workouts are on the schedule for today and the rest of the week.  Click into any workout to read the description and get any special instructions.  

What if I don't have a smartwatch?  

No problem.  The workouts are simple and most people have no trouble remembering the objective and instructions for each one.  If necessary you can write it on a sticky note and take it with you or screenshot it on your phone.  

What if I've never done an ultra before?  

No problem.  This plan will help you make the best use of your off-season so that when you're ready to start training for your first ultra, you'll be ahead of the game!  

What if I don't have a race picked out for next year?  

I would still recommend that you spend your time wisely and train using this plan while you make up your mind.  It's likely that you'll be inspired to pick a race during this time and when you do, you'll be happy that you spent this time training instead of sitting around doing nothing!  

What if I can't make it to the live calls in Level 2? 

The replays will be sent out the following day for you to watch.  

What if I'm shy and don't like being on camera/Zoom?  

I get that, you don't have to have your camera on if you don't want to.  But the people that get the most out of the program are the ones that engage with the live calls.  They're on camera, they ask questions, and they interact with the group.  

What if I don't have a laptop computer? 

Not a problem.  All of this can be accessed on your phone.  As long as you have an email account, you're good to go!  

What if I have a super busy schedule...will I still be able to do this program? 

That's entirely up to you!  This training plan requires approximately 5 hours per week (not including the live group calls in Level 2) anywhere from 30 minutes a day to 1.5 hours a day.  If you're thinking about training for an ultra, your in-season training load will likely be higher than this, so now is a good time to practice scheduling in your workouts.  

What if I work 2nd/3rd shift? 

You can schedule your workouts anytime that works for your schedule.  As long as you aim to complete all the workouts for the week, you can reorganize them anyway you like.  

What if I've never done a strength workout before? 

I've got you covered!  The workouts in this program are bodyweight only to start out with.  This means that you don't need any fancy equipment or a gym membership - you can do them at home with just a yoga mat.  If and when you're ready to add weights (like dumbbells) I show you how to do that. 

What if I don't have a gym membership? 

See the answer above 😎

What if I don't have any yoga equipment? 

Not a problem.  You just need to clear yourself a space (approximately 6' x 6') to move around in.  The mobility videos in this program make use of:  yoga blocks, a tennis ball, and yoga strap.  But these things can be easily swapped with household items you have laying around.  I give you examples in the videos where appropriate.
