Structured training, built for the long game.

Our training plans are written for masters-aged endurance athletes who want to get to the start line strong, stay healthy doing it, and keep coming back for more next season.

Our philosophy

Train smart, protect the body you'll need for the next twenty years of adventures.

Why our plans are different

Built for masters athletes. Recovery, mobility, and injury prevention are baked in.

Coached by Susan, UESCA-certified coach, with years of experience guiding athletes through the physiological realities of training as we age.

Longevity first. The goal isn't just finishing — it's finishing well, and being ready to do it again.

10-Week Trail Running Maintenance Program

The Plan

No race on the calendar? This one's for the in-between seasons — a low-volume plan built around rest, variety, and flexibility rather than pace or mileage targets. Hill repeats, strength, mobility, and optional cross-training keep you sharp and powerful, so whenever a race or a self-supported mountain adventure does land on the calendar, you're already equipped to start specific training from a place of strength, not from scratch.

Best for: Athletes between training blocks who want to stay consistent, build power, and keep things relaxed until the next goal takes shape.

12-Week Half Marathon — Beginner

The Plan

For runners who are ready to commit to their first (or first-in-a-while) half marathon. Progressive mileage build, run-walk options, strength and mobility integrated throughout, and a taper designed to get you to the start line fresh, not fried.

Best for: New-to-distance runners or anyone returning after time off who wants a realistic, sustainable build to 13.1 miles.

16-Week 50K Ultramarathon

The Plan

Trail-specific, time-on-feet focused training for your first ultra distance. Back-to-back long runs, vert-aware progression.

Best for: Experienced runners with a marathon or solid trail base under their belt, ready to go longer.

FAQ

Do I need trail running experience for the 50K plan?
Some running base is helpful, but the plan is written to build trail-specific skills — vert, technical terrain, fueling — as you go.

Can I follow these plans on a road route instead of trails?
Yes. The half and full marathon plans work for road or trail; the 50K plan assumes some trail/vert access.

What if I need to adjust the schedule around travel or injury?
Each plan includes guidance on how to shift weeks without losing your build.

Do these plans include strength and mobility work?
Yes — every plan integrates time for strength, mobility, and recovery specific to masters athletes. Contact us for additional guidance.
