Every movement, in order
Each lift with its working sets and target, in the order you run them. The coach sets the loads from your training and moves them up as the work gets easier.
| Order | Exercise | Sets | Target | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Trail Running Walking Walking pace only — no running. 3 minutes brisk (RPE 6-7, uphill or fast flat), then 90 seconds easy (RPE 3-4). Run only this week's cycle count. From week 7: 4 minutes brisk, 5 cycles. 6 × 3:00 · rest 0s–1:30 | 6 | 3:00 | 0s–1:30 |
The coach sets the loads and moves them up — these are the schemes
When to reach for this template
Terrain is the dial: a gentle incline or a headwind for the brisk blocks, flat ground for the easy ones. Effort governs — brisk is short sentences only (RPE 6-7), easy is full conversation (RPE 3-4). Lift cadence rather than breaking into a jog. Run the week's exact cycle count. Equipment swaps. Bad weather or no safe route: the identical ladder on a treadmill at walking speed with incline as the dial, or on a bike or elliptical at the same effort. Never substitute running or jumping.
Every workout
The coach reads your log, tunes the loads and volume to where you are today, and tells you when to add weight.
