Common questions
Do I need to be fast?
Not at all. This plan is built around effort and consistency, not pace. Your goal is finishing well — everything else is secondary.
I haven't run in months, can I still use these plans?
We recommend 4 weeks of easy base building at 15–20 miles per week first. It's worth the patience — your body will thank you in week 10.
What if I miss a week?
Life happens. The plan includes guidance on how to get back on track without panicking or over-compensating.
How do I access the plan after purchase?
Instantly, online. No waiting. Once you confirm your Racefurther Plus membership and sign in, you will have access to all our training plans.
