Build-up or Recovery phase

$120/Month*

Whether you are starting from scratch, you are ready to set a new goal, or you have just completed yours and want to recover before the next training block, this phase is designed to prepare you for the training plan. It will also be helpful for your fitness evaluation (Build-up) or recovery training after your race Recovery).  It also acts as an injury prevention by getting your body, muscles, and tendons ready to handle the next training load and focusing your mind on developing new positive habits toward your upcoming goals.

• The plan is tailored around your busy life (student, full-time worker, family obligations) and is adjustable weekly as needed.

• If the Build-up option is used independently, we will need a consultation first to establish the goals of the build-up. If used with a Training Plan, the consultation is included in the first-month subscription.

• The goal of the Build-up is to create accountability for new and positive habits within your schedule and to work on your base fitness at a lower cost.

It’s time to get to work, whether we are looking to complete our first 10k races or achieve a new Ultramarathon PR; this is the part where we have to be laser-focused.
