It is not presumptuous to claim that running is the most popular endurance sport. Why? With little equipment, you can do something for your fitness almost anywhere in the world. Numerous running events also invite you to compete with like-minded people every year, to push yourself to your limits or to beat your own best times. With the right training plan, running becomes more effective and varied. Why do beginners, occasional runners and ambitious runners all benefit from a running training plan?
Kickass combines smart running training and the improvement of running technique
In addition to effective and varied running training plans, Kickass Sports offers the Kickass Educations training series to improve running technique for everyone. The aim is to make running healthier, easier and therefore faster and more enjoyable. The running technique seminars RUN I, RUN II and RUN III build on each other in terms of content.
From ready-made running training plans for various goals to our Kickass Run Training, where you can put together your own running season from ready-made running training plan templates, to individual support in our Kickass Individual Coaching and individually bookable 1:1 coaching sessions, Kickass Sports has offers for everyone who enjoys running.
This is how an effective running training plan is structured
There is an almost infinite number of running training plans with different goals. But what makes an effective running training plan and how do I achieve my goals effectively? The first starting point for planning should be an analysis of the current situation and setting goals. Where do I currently stand and where do I want to go? These can be clearly defined goals such as improving my 10km or marathon time, or more general goals such as increasing my general fitness through running training. Performance diagnostics provide information about physiological performance and determine the metabolic profile or the training areas in which training should take place.
To determine the total load of the running training plan, the available training time and other everyday loads are determined. Clever load-relief management with the necessary recovery phases to adapt to the set stimuli is a key to success here. Overuse injuries are not uncommon among runners, as the mechanical and orthopaedic stress on bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles is very high when running. To avoid this, joint-friendly add-on sports such as cycling, swimming, rowing, inline skating or cross-country skiing can be integrated into the running training plan. This increases the overall load without putting further strain on the passive structures. Basic endurance training in particular lends itself to additive sports. This leaves time to work on speed and technique in running.
This brings up a special feature of the Kickass Run training offer: we offer the option of choosing plans from 2 categories: “Just Run” and “Run Plus”. The “Just Run” category is for runners who want to design their training purely through running sessions and “Run Plus” for those who want to integrate balance training or additional volumes in additive sports such as cycling, swimming, inline skating or rowing. All those who opt for our Kickass Run training have access to the plans of both categories.
