Training content
In the last 8 weeks before the race, the goal is to achieve the best possible race form. For this purpose, the program includes 5 running sessions with basic work, specific interval sessions at race pace and longer runs with tempo changes. Training will take place on a total of 6 days, but the strength training will now be somewhat reduced. This mix is designed to give you the best possible performance on race day. The plan is designed to end with a race on Sunday. If your race is on a Saturday, you can move the last week’s sessions up a day and skip the second to last session.
