Can't get faster?



If you’re anything like most runners, you probably got a lot faster in your first 6-12 months of training.


While it felt like a real slog in the first few weeks, over time, your endurance built up, your times dropped, and your fitness went through the roof.


Until … It didn’t!


That’s because maintaining running improvements over time is hard.


Or at least it is if you program your running the way most people do.


You might have read about how we’re big on the 80:20 rule at Brownlee Fitness before.


What this means is, 80% of your training should be easy.


And 20% should be absolutely gut-busting, heart-pounding, and (almost) vomit-inducing. 

 

Trouble is, most runners run their easy runs too hard, and their hard runs too easy.


They get stuck in what we call “the murky middle.”


This leads to poor recovery, little injuries that rear their heads, and ultimately -

An inability to get any quicker.

 

This is a big reason why we created a coaching program specifically for runners:



 Here’s what you get when you join:


  • A personalised training plan for any distance. Whether you’re shooting for your first 5k, or looking to break sub-2:30 in the marathon, there’s something for you.  

  • World class individualised coaching. We don’t just give you a plan and leave you to your own devices. You have your very own run coach on hand so you can ask any questions you have, and get feedback tailored to your specific needs and situation.  

  • Access to an incredible support community. Join other like minded runners and athletes in our private comms channel, so you can network, share tips, and get motivation and encouragement whenever you need it.  

  • 100% Flexibility. We have plans for all levels and all schedules, and are happy to tweak things to suit you. So you’ll never have a plan that’s impossible to complete, or have to sacrifice precious family time to get your runs in.  

  • Full progress tracking and insights. Unlike most running programs, we go deep on the data. This gives us a detailed look at exactly what’s going well, and what needs to change, so we can create the most effective program for you.  

  • Nutrition plans. It’s no good having the best training plan in the world, but being left second-guessing what to eat. Let our expert nutritionists guide your fuelling strategy, so you perform and recover, while eating foods you love.



And ultimately …


  • The only plan you’ll ever need to hit new PBs with ease, get (and stay) injury-free, and LOVE your running training.


Kiss goodbye to the days of boring run training, endless tweaks and niggles, and the frustration of yet another missed PB.


 Join The Brownlee Fitness Running Program today, and take your running to the next level.
