With the Training Peaks system I can load my desired training plan and the system will send me an email message each morning with a detailed description of the workout for that day (see before for example from this morning). In addition, he provides a link to an online interactive virtual training system called Training Peaks. He provides free training plans for different distances and different experience levels. After some digging I came across Hal Higdon's training programs. But I wanted a more interactive experience, like having a virtual trainer coach me each day. I have a few books with half-marathon training plans. So I think it is time to start slowly and carefully building my mileage. Since I quit smoking almost a year ago I have been working on building my base, and I feel pretty comfortable now jogging three miles of trails, four or five times per week. That means I have about 3.5 months to train for my first race. I've broken down my ultramarathon goal into six training milestones, the first of which is a 15K on my home trail this upcoming November. Visit any of the training plans at and the conversion link will automatically appear below the tableĭue to the sheer number of training programs and inconsistant formatting, higdon only works fully with some training programs.Note: I have completed this training program and it worked perfectly to prepare me for my first milestone race, the Rockledge Rumble 15K.Drag and drop the higdon folder on to the page.In the chrome address bar type chrome://extensions.The link toggles the training plan between miles and km.
