What is a run further plan?
A Run Further plan is designed to help you steadily increase your mileage, strengthen your endurance, and discover the joy of running longer - all without the pressure of preparing for a race. Whether you’re laying the groundwork for future goals, recovering after an event, or simply enjoying the rhythm of longer runs, this plan supports consistent, sustainable progress.
At its core, Run Further builds your aerobic capacity and physical resilience. Weekly long runs increase gradually to extend your distance, while easy runs and steady efforts keep you strong and adaptable. This balance allows your body to handle higher volumes safely, reducing the risk of injury or burnout as your endurance develops.
Unlike race-focused plans, Run Further is built for year-round training. You set your current and target mileage, and the plan adapts around your schedule and ability. Instead of chasing short-term intensity, you’ll develop strength, stamina, and confidence that last well beyond the program.
Fully personalized to your fitness and lifestyle, Run Further is perfect for anyone looking to build a strong foundation. Whether you’re preparing for a future marathon cycle, increasing your volume for overall fitness, or simply curious about how far you can go, this plan gives you the structure to grow your running base - at your pace, on your terms.

Explicación de los entrenamientos
Your run further training includes a mix of sessions - each with a clear purpose. Here’s what they are and how they’ll help you on become a stronger runner.
Carrera suave
Relaxed, conversational-paced runs that form the foundation of your mileage. They build aerobic fitness while keeping your body fresh for longer efforts.
Colinas
The backbone of endurance training, long, easy-paced runs gradually increase in distance to strengthen your aerobic base and build the mental resilience needed for going further.
Sesiones a intervalos
Steady uphill efforts with easy jogs or walks back down. These strengthen your legs, improve efficiency, and make long-distance running feel smoother and more powerful.
Carrera larga
Intervals are short, fast bursts with recovery in between. They add variety, boost cardiovascular fitness, and make sustaining steady paces over distance feel easier.
Carrera de recuperación
Recovery runs are very short, very easy jogs after tough sessions. They help loosen muscles, improve circulation, and get your legs ready for the next key workout without strain.
Zancadas
Strides are short, fast bursts of running (10–20 seconds) that boost speed and running form. They sharpen leg turnover and form, leaving you feeling quicker and more efficient
Sesiones de tempo
Tempo runs are sustained efforts at a “comfortably hard” pace. These build the strength and stamina to hold steady effort over longer periods without fading.
Time Trials
Time trials are your chance to put your training to the test - running a set distance at your strongest, most sustainable effort. They highlight how far you’ve come, build confidence, and give you the focus to push for even bigger gains.
