RUN TRAINING PLANS
Our training plans have been written by Running Divas founder and Advanced Run Coach, Erica King. Training plans are designed specifically to achieve a distance goal.
Following a run training plan ensures that kilometres are built up gradually to build fitness and endurance. The combination of strength training, cross-training and rest enables your body to perform at its best.
