Train for Skyrunning half marathons with practice on technical terrain and prep for significant elevation changes.

This is a 12-week mountain running training plan to prepare you for a significantly hilly trail event of between 13 and 20 miles (half marathon to c. 30 km distance)

The plan is designed for more experienced runners and for events that have an important amount of climbing and descending, on technical trails. Ideal for Skyrunning type events.

Also suits road runners transitioning from half or full marathon distance, into technical trail and mountain running.

It covers 12 weeks, split into 2 or 3 build weeks followed by a recovery week. It ends with a 2-week taper pre-race.

You will need access to hills or a treadmill for certain workouts and to a heart rate monitor.

  • When you purchase a TMR Coaching plan, you’re getting a highly specific programme to prepare for your chosen goal. However, this plan doesn’t adjust after you’ve applied it to your account, and it won’t account for any unforeseen events like missed sessions or needing to change workouts around. Whilst you can make adjustments to your plan yourself, if you’re in doubt about how to better personalise your plan, you’ll appreciate an individual coaching contract instead.

    As a coached athlete, you’ll also be able to communicate with us freely, ask us additional questions, and conduct regular reviews of your progress. These then enable us to personalise your plan even more.

    Finally, if you’re a coached athlete, you’ll also benefit from specific race prep such as timing and nutrition advice, race specific workout sessions, and more. Learn about our coaching services.
