Ep. 247 - How To Build A Solid Base For A Year's Worth Of Races

In Episode 247, we’re diving into the essentials of building a solid running base as you prepare for your 2025 race calendar. After planning and mapping out the races and training season, it’s time to focus on creating a strong foundation for the months ahead. Base building is a dedicated phase, typically taking 12-16 weeks, where you work on establishing endurance, consistency, and low-intensity stamina. This period is separate from your official race training plan and serves as the groundwork, helping you gradually prepare for the higher-intensity weeks to come.

We'll answer the question, "How long does it take to build a base?" and provide guidance on structuring your base phase, including how to set your weekly run schedule, select your workout types, and gradually increase mileage. You’ll hear why a consistent routine and patient ramp-up are key to building a strong base, and we’ll touch on the benefits of integrating strength and mobility work. Plus, stay tuned for details on our upcoming training plan workshop, where you can refine your approach and ensure your 2025 season gets off to the right start!
