Distance Training Plans
10km Free
Whether you're a complete running novice or have previously completed a 5k, this plan will get your body ready whilst enjoying the journey and training process.
During our carefully curated 8 week focused training plan, your muscles will gradually build and strengthen, enabling you to hit a comfortable 10k goal.
Our program provides enough time on feet and running endurance training for you to manage this distance with ease. Sufficient time between training sessions helps the body rest and recover and prevents injury. Recovery is a key part of the training; recovery is important!
Our training days maximise your valuable time out on the road/trail, we want you to run smart, not hard.
We also incorporate a regular stride session (short bursts which elevate the heart rate and open up your legs), to get your heart rate and effort up, but not to exhaustion. They may seem tough at first, but over time they become easier. We'll go into more detail in the plan, and they will get easier over time, we promise!
We include easy days, rest days, speedwork and long runs, starting with 3 sessions building up to 4 per week during peak weeks.
We work off 3 blocks: BASE, BUILD, and finally TAPER/RACE. Our training is unique and works on time-based sessions, not distance. Each and every one of us is different and we can't assume 2km will take “xx” amount of minutes for all so have adapted our speed work sessions into time based intervals.

21km Half Marathon
The 21k run has become a very popular distance with those wanting to improve on the 10k distance and expand their running journey, and we’ve got a badass plan to help you smash a comfortable 2hr finish!
During our carefully curated 12 week training plan, your muscles will gradually build and strengthen, enabling you to run a comfortable 21km race.
We recommend previous 5k or 10k experience and a general base line of run fitness, but not essential, as 12 weeks is ample time to have anyone ready to run 21k.
Our program provides enough time on feet for you to adapt to the stressors that 21km worth of non-stop running presents. Sufficient time between training sessions helps the body rest and recover and prevents injury. Recovery is a key part of the training; recovery is important!
We include training sessions that maximise your valuable time out on the road; we want you to run smart, not hard! We incorporate regular “stride” sessions (short bursts to elevate the heart rate and open up your regular stride), to get your effort up, but never to maximum zone. They may be tough at first but over time they become easier, and you may even start to enjoy them, who knows!?
Our program also includes easy days, rest days, speedwork and long runs. We work on 3 to 4 sessions per week and build up intensity during peak weeks, following a BASE, BUILD, PEAK, and finally TAPER and RACE block training style.
Our training follows time based sessions, not distance. Each and every one of us is different, so we can't assume 2k will take “xx” amount of minutes for all and have adapted these speed work sessions into time based intervals. The harder you run though, the further you’ll go within a session.
This program targets a 2hr intermediate half marathon finish time, but as the time-based training sessions provide the same exertion for all, those who are naturally faster runners will crush a faster race time by the end of the program.
