Base Building level I 12-Weeks
The Base Building Plans are intended for individuals who have not been consistently training recently with any structure, or are interested in adding structure to their running before peaking for a specific event. This plan starts with 4.5 hours of running per week and peaks at 6.5 hours per week. The goal of base building is to develop a strong aerobic foundation that can be the foundation of future workouts designed to peak for a specific distance/intensity. If you have any questions about whether this plan is appropriate for your particular circumstances, please contact Zach.
About this plan:
This plan is a good fit for people who are either new to structured running, prefer a lower volume training plan, and/or have limited time availability for training.
This plan includes strength training, dynamic movements, stretching/mobility recommendations, which depending on your availability and desire will add 1-2 hours of total training volume per week.
This plan uses time and intensity as the metric to track workout duration and difficulty.
This plan includes detailed workout descriptions with multiple guides for determining workout intensity.
This plan encourages using rate of perceived exertion (guide included) as a guide. It includes heart rate, and descriptive cues as well.
