overview
This is a 12-week mountain running training plan to prepare you for a significantly hilly trail event of between 13 and 20 miles (half marathon to c. 30 km distance)
The plan is designed for more experienced runners and for events that have an important amount of climbing and descending, on technical trails. Ideal for Skyrunning type events.
Also suits road runners transitioning from half or full marathon distance, into technical trail and mountain running.
It covers 12 weeks, split into 2 or 3 build weeks followed by a recovery week. It ends with a 2-week taper pre-race.
You will need access to hills or a treadmill for certain workouts and to a heart rate monitor.
