Help: 11 week progression for 25K Trail Run
Posted on 1/19/20 at 1:45 pm
Posted on 1/19/20 at 1:45 pm
I am planning on a 25K April 4. It will be on a pretty tough trail system (Monkey Trails outside of Shreveport)
I just run on the fly, I dont follow a program but would like to get a little more strict.
My week usually looks like this:
M, W, F - 5am 3-5 miles (major rush to get back in and get ready, get to work on time if I do 5, but can be done)
Sunday - 7am or afternoon I make it a point to hit the trails for at least 5, this morning I did 6. I obviously need to get this number up.
I recently ran a 10mi flat doubletrack in 1hr 36min and felt like I still had gas in the tank.
The 25K distance doesnt bother me, its the elevation changes and how effectively and smart I am about covering that distance rather than going out and just knocking my dick in the dirt.
Any help appreciated

Altrails app says it’s a 6.5 mile loop with 400ft of elevation gain. You need to incorporate some hills into your training plan IMO. The hill at the end looks killer.

I would just try to modify a half plan to for the timeframe.
Also even though I can’t run it with you, we need to plan a run out there one weekend.

The best workout I did to get ready for a 50k was to go out on Sat and Sun and run back to back days splitting my distance and working close to the total milage and elevation of the race. I was doing 17 on Sat and 13 on Sun. Then a 5 mile easy on Tues. Wed would be 6-8 at tempo then a very easy 3 mile run on Thursday.
I would start the weekend runs first week of February and start slowly working your weekend milage and elev up each weekend.
The last 2 weeks before the race just work on maintaining the fitness you've built and recovering from any nagging aches or pains.
