12 week 50k training plan

Distance 50 KM
Level Intermediate
Length 12 weeks

Welcome to the 12-week 50k Training Plan! Over the next three months, we’ll work together to build strength and fitness to help you achieve your racing goals. There is a mix between endurance building work and some consistent, strategic interval training that will help to make you feel stronger and more efficient at “race pace.”

While there is also plenty of intentional recovery built in, this training plan is challenging and will push you out of your comfort zone at times. If you feel like you need more than 12 weeks to prepare, consider doing the 4-week Base Build Block or the 6-Week Off-Season Training Plan before jumping in.

If you have specific questions or need suggestions for modification, join us at Freetrail Office Hours, where a Freetrail Expert will be happy to help. Freetrail Office Hours are available to our Freetrail Pro members.
