Yes, our plan factors in any races you've recently run and builds in an appropriate recovery time based on the race distance. You can signup any time.

That really depends on your goals and training background. Generally, I recommend 16-20 weeks or longer. The bigger the leap in performance you want to make, the longer you'll want to have a dedicated training plan. Our plans assess your strengths and weaknesses and write custom workouts to address your weaknesses before starting the race-specific training. My recommendation is a plan of 16-20 weeks. Likewise, if you're training for your first marathon or half marathon, the longer we have to slowly build your mileage and workouts, the safer we can make your training plan. Plans of 12 weeks or shorter should only be chosen if (1) you're already training for the event and you want something more custom; or (2) you are an experienced runner.

Our plans start and are written from the day you signup until race day. This can't be adjusted

As soon as you signup the next step will be filling out an in-depth profile that gathers all the information we need to start writing your plan. You'll tell us your previous training, prior races, preferred days off, cross training and strength preferences and more.

You'll have your plan about 24 hours after you signup

We'll email you when your plan is ready. If you have any questions after looking it over, let us know and we'll do our best to help and adjust if needed. Once you get started with your plan, we have a comprehensive help desk that answers most questions for you. However, if you're looking for a plan with coaching feedback, you might be better choosing either our RunnersConnect plan or Personal Coaching.
