Race Training Plans

Race‑specific plans follow a fixed Final Surge calendar with training ranges for different experience levels. Athletes communicate through Final Surge with training questions and minor adjustments to support safety, manage injuries, and adapt to life.


How the Plans Work

  • Fixed Final Surge training calendar

  • Training ranges for multiple experience levels

  • Structured weekly rhythm of easy runs, long runs, and race‑specific workouts

  • Clear guidance on effort, pacing, and recovery

  • Gradual progression appropriate for each race distance

Race‑specific plans give you structure and flexibility, with a clear path to race day.

Race‑training plans use a simple, community‑aligned structure.

  • Athletes signing up for any partnered race‑training plan automatically receive preferred pricing.

  • ARC and MSRC members receive a 40% discount on all race‑training plans throughout the season.
