Explanation of session purpose, with reference to the key physiological adaptations the session seeks to bring about, and reference to scientific papers where relevant.
Notes on the best terrain for each session.
Comprehensive PDF user guide to allow you to get the most from the plan, and to provide important guidance you’d usually get from a coach.

These plans cater for runners who want to build their general fell/trail running fitness and progress up to a higher ability level. The plans gradually increase running volume and introduce and/or develop structured intensity in a safe and progressive way. All plans include a home-based strength training program, which can be upgraded to a gym-based plan for free.
Improver -> Intermediate

Beginner -> Improver
A 12-week plan that takes you from a beginner level (running 3-5km per run, 2-3 times per week), up to the level of ‘improver’ (running 4H per week, with a longest run of 1H.
