Plan

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 36 miles / 58km.

The biggest week is 42 miles / 68km.

There are five 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 16-21 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.

Great in between

I've been doing this plan since about 4 weeks ago while targetting sub 5 hour for my next marathon. So far so great, my body responded well to the menu and feel strong for my next week marathon.

Excellent plan

Absolutely love this plan! Just what I needed to help with a bit of motivation and guidance when not in a dedicated race plan phase. The plan is very well explained, laid out and has everything you need to get it done!
Unfortunately, I have only been able to use it for a couple of weeks so far as I've an annoying niggling injury (was present before I started the plan) and I need to take care of it.
Can't wait to get back to the plan soon!
Thanks Ben!

Fantastic

The In Between plan has worked really well for me in between my races and has helped me to keep focussed. I can highly recommend them. Well done Ben, keep up the great work 👍🏻

Awesome

I have used the Half Marathon L4 and Marathon L3 plans this year and found that they helped me achieve my goals. The In Between L4 plan looks great and will help me stay motivated by introducing some great variation over the winter months, before I start to look at next year’s target races. I can’t recommend the plans enough. You can look at what your overall aims are, taking into account your current ability and have the confidence that you can and will continue to improve. A big thank you from me!!
