Level: Intermediate
Duration: 8 weeks
Each week:

Description:
This plan is somewhat high volume, so make sure you have somewhat of a base (about 12+ miles/week for 3 weeks prior to starting this plan). If you don’t have a kettlebell, you can substitute it for a dumbbell for most movements. Stick to the plan, and if you need to move workouts around, that’s fine. You can also use any of the audio-guided runs for your outdoor endurance runs if you’re looking for a little extra guidance.
Equipment:
Running shoes, treadmill, mat, kettlebell (optional to use dumbbells for some kettlebell exercises), resistance bands (purchase HERE), yoga block, foam roller, and a bench or box.
