Return to Run Plans

Returning to running after a break requires a thoughtful approach, whether you’re easing back after an injury, time off, or another life transition. Our Return to Run Plans offer a variety of options to help you regain your endurance, strength, and confidence. Each plan is designed with specific goals and approaches, ensuring that no matter where you are in your journey, there’s a plan tailored to your needs.

Our Return to Run plans are designed for runners who have been cleared by their doctor and are pain-free, ready to safely rebuild their running base. These plans are perfect for those seeking a structured program that incorporates strength and mobility training, while also allowing them to regain their confidence and endurance at their own pace.

What to Expect:

With each Return to Run plan, you’ll train four days a week, with built-in rest days to allow for recovery. The gradual increase in mileage ensures you’re rebuilding your endurance safely, while incorporating strength training and mobility work to prevent injury. As you progress, you’ll also learn effective strategies for fueling and hydration, setting you up for success as you work toward your goals.

All Plans Include:

Run Plan: Four days per week of running, with a gradual increase in mileage to help your body adapt smoothly.
Strength Training Plan: A twice-weekly routine designed to rebuild muscle, improve posture, and prevent injury.
Fuel & Hydration Guide: Practical advice on fueling and hydrating effectively during your training.
Weekly Prompts: Thoughtful questions to encourage healthy habits and a positive mindset as you return to running.
Weekly Team Coaching Call: Join Coach Alysha and the team for a live Zoom call to get guidance, ask questions, and receive support.
