Running training plan

A running training plan with real structure

Three runs a week, organized into base, pace, accelerate, and race blocks with 5K benchmarks along the way — then a maintenance cycle so you keep your fitness. Included with membership: 14-day free trial, then Founders Club $4.99/mo, then $9.99/mo when the Founders rate ends. Cancel anytime.

Built in training blocks

Easy aerobic runs, intervals, tempo, and progression runs are sequenced into blocks so fitness builds steadily instead of randomly.

Benchmark your progress

Timed 5K checkpoints show you how your fitness is moving, and race-pace practice prepares you for a 5K–10K goal event.

Pair running with strength

Running programs live on the same calendar as your strength training, so you can balance both without double-booking your week.
