2. Coach Sarah's Basic PDF Training Plan Version - This version is available as a basic document to print and stick on your fridge! It includes workouts and key descriptions however it does not included additional resources included in the Training Peaks Plan.

Choose from 3 options:

Novice

This program is designed for individuals who can run/walk 8kms using a 10:1 schedule (run 10 minutes then walk for 1). Your goal is to complete the entire distance without a specific goal time.

Intermediate

This plan begins at 10kms straight running and is designed for individuals who have completed the half marathon distance in the past, or close to it, and who are ready to improve their fitness and performance.

You will select a plan based on your realistic goal race time. The workouts are pace-based.

Advanced

The Advanced Training Plan is a higher volume option for those who are looking for even more of a challenge. This plan is designed for individuals who can already complete the half marathon distance at the time of beginning the clinic and currently have a higher base mileage.

*Thursday night Training Sessions are done together as a group however the rest of your weekly workouts vary depending on the Training Plan you have selected.

Structure/Schedule

Workout days may be switched, but the same structure of alternating workout days & rest days should be adhered to until you are feeling ready to train intuitively.

• Headlamp
• Sense of adventure! Winter running is always an adventure:)
• Running gear for winter conditions! Rain gear, rain hat/toque, gloves - as we run in all conditions.
