About this plan

I’ve designed this for anyone who has recently run a race and is looking to maintain some structure in their training while keeping their running fun before heading into a new dedicated training block for your next goal race.

There are three separate blocks of training that last four weeks each, so you can train for 4 weeks, 8 weeks or 12 weeks using the full plan.

Pace chart included so you know exactly how fast your runs should be.

Full glossary of terms so you'll always know what to do.

Loads of tips each week so you can learn along the way and stay motivated!

Plan Details / Who is this for?

The smallest week is 23 miles / 37km.

The biggest week is 30 miles / 48km.

There are four runs each week.

The plan has both miles and kilometres.

12 weeks in length, with three separate '4 week' blocks, so you can easily do 4, 8 or 12 weeks of training.

Suited to someone with current 5k fitness of between 18-25 minutes.

Optional Strength Routine Add On

The 'Plan + Strength Routine' option includes the full plan plus 3 integrated "at home" strength routines with warm up and cool down exercises.

Beginner friendly and easy to follow.

No equipment necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the training plans in miles or kilometers?

We have written the training plans in both miles and kms, both of which are included in the PDF file so you can refer to whichever one suits you.

The pace charts are also in miles and km's too.

How will I receive my plan?

You will receive an email with a link to download your plan straight after purchase.

You can also click a link on the checkout success page.

This will download the PDF file to your computer, tablet or phone. 

What format do the training plans come in?

The plans are a downloadable PDF file which you can view on any device or print off.

You will be emailed the link to download your plan.

Please note the plan can only be downloaded a maximum of 5 times. 

I feel I am in between two training plans, which one should I go for?

Each plan gives the number of days of training per week, so we’d advise going for the one which best fits in with your current lifestyle and commitments.

Also consider the number of miles or km's for the first week and peak week and compare that figure to where you are currently.

The best success will come from following a plan that is achievable given your lifestyle and current fitness.

Good Flexible Plan

A chance London lottery place led me back to marathon running after 40 years and having got back into running again, I want to keep ticking over while combining running some 5 and 10k races with playing and coaching cricket during the summer. While not following the plan to the letter (weekends are difficult) it has given me sufficient structure, until I decide which marathon I will do next in either late autumn or spring.

Ben’s plans work!

Last year I did a BP intermediate marathon plan and PB’d in Chicago with a Boston qualifying time. I have just completed his level 3 10k training plan and this morning got a PB in a 10k event. What more could I ask for? Ben’s plans deliver results! I am also in the middle of his ‘Between races’ plan prior to starting on another of his 16 week marathon plans leading up to Berlin. I am an older runner so it’s great to be able to have a range of levels to choose between. My plans feel tailored to me personally and I’ve recommended them to many people. Thanks, Ben.

Highly Recommend

It is so nice to use this training plan to keep my runs interesting and have something to look forward to and challenge myself. If I didn't have this, I'd just be doing my usual, boring 4-5 mile runs, all at the same pace, and not find any joy in running. Highly recommend!

In between plan L3

Really nice and easy to follow plan. Came out really fit. did this off a 1:55ish half marathon time with the slowest paces given in the pace charts.

Variety is good, always some different sessions every week.
Strength training can be purchased with the plan if wanted.
Great value for money.

Great plan, just what I need to keep me going between my 50K ultra training blocks - using the equally excellent Ben Parkes 50k plan.
