Ready to plan your 2026 running schedule? I’ll explain how to plan the perfect year of training for all your running goals from 5k to the marathon. You’ll learn: what happens when you don’t make a strategic plan for your goals, how and when to mix up your distances and your training, and I’ll explore what a well-planned yearly calendar looks like for marathoners, half marathoners, and 5k or 10k racers. This episode is going to be extremely helpful to plan out a whole year of running, but remember, you don’t have to do this alone. I still have a few more spots on the PR Team and you get a major discount when you sign up for a full year. Imagine having the whole year sketched out for you, while allowing flexibility for life. Each cycle blends seamlessly to the next with plenty of time for fitness building, recovery, and room to try new things. Join us at www.theplantedrunner.com/group Welcome to the Planted Runner.
