from 5208 reviewsI started the plan for 10km after a long term of injuries. Building up in twice the adviced time made me stronger then I was before. Now I've completed the beginner plan for Half Marathon, this one I also completed in double of the adviced time to avoid new injuries. All went well. Now I would like to become a little bit faster, so I bought the Improved plan. I only miss the heartbeat percentages on the pace chart.
That would be a nice and useful addition.

A well made running plan for 5k. Clear week-by-week instructions and a strength and conditioning set of exercises.

Excellent shorts. Fit well, no chaffing and two great pockets.

I brought the getting it done running cap and have done multiple runs in it. It is honestly the best cap I have brought so far lightweight comfortable and it doesn’t move about on your head. I would also like to mention the customer service is a 10 out of 10.

Fits great, feels great and looks great. What more could you ask for?

Can't wait for the colder days with these wraps.

Just getting started with the Intermediate training plan, have done the Improver plan before which I enjoyed so hoping this plan will take my running to the next level and help me finally crack the 4 hour barrier.
I am sure it will :-)

Currently training for my first Backyard Ultra incl some 100+ miles weeks so I’ve given these shorts a good sweat test. The storage options in the shorts are fantastic and the standout feature for me is just how soft they feel - I think softest I’ve ever known. Totally recommend but my one watch out is sizing. The size guide suggested I opted for Small based on waist size which was surprising. I tried both Small and my normal Medium and Medium was definitely the better option. Stick to your normal short size when ordering I think.
(Shorts bought 100% with my own money for a totally impartial review) ; )
