Base Training Handbook Level 2

This is a 12 week programme to guide you through your base training phase. This Level 2 plan is aimed towards the advanced runner. You will have 5 runs & 2 strength sessions per week. The plan will build you up from 4 hours of running per week to 6 hours of running per week.
 
“We have developed these base training plans to complement the race plans. Whether you are planning to compete in a 5k, 10k, half or full marathon, all base training is essentially the same.
In this guide, we will be using training time as our main metric, in contrast to the race preparation plans which focus on race pace + distance. 
 
We have created a simple plan with a nice progression over 12 weeks. If you feel that the mileage is not enough, simply add more time to the easy runs. However, we would recommend you stick to just 1 tempo session per week.

We have also added some important tips that are not directly linked to the plans, but are valuable snippets of information that will also help take your running to the next level. We hope you enjoy our base training plan”
