“When I joined my average pace for a 5km race was 6:53 min/km with elevation gain of 53m…
I recently did the 50km Coastal Ascent and my average pace was 6:55 min/km with elevation gain of 1454m.
Not bad I reckon! So, thanks again for your plans! ”

50km training plan – frequently asked questions
Is the 50km trail training plan program suitable for a beginner?
To give you an idea of where to start, the beginner plan kicks off with a weekly volume of approx 35km (longest run week 1 is 15km), the advanced plan starts with a total weekly volume of 63km (longest trail run week 1 is 19km). If these volumes sound too high for your current level of fitness, you may be better off starting with the 21km trail plan. Don't over do it and end up injured!
Can you help me train when I'm injured?
We are very sorry to hear you are injured. We know how difficult that can be. If you have an injury that requires some rest from running, there are almost always some cross-training options available to help you maintain your fitness, strength, and sanity. By cross-training while you are injured, and including some simple strength, stretching and foam rolling routines, you will speed up your recovery time and ultimately make your return to running easier and more successful. You can start our free 4 week cross training plan now for FREE. https://app.streek.run/sales/cross-training-plan-for-injured-runners/ It will help you to identify appropriate exercises based on your injury type and recommend what cross training methods will work best for your injury. When you are ready you can start our 10-week return to running program (url) or one of our run-specific rehab plans.
Can I start this program late?
You get immediate access to your training plan when you join. You can view the current week plus any previous weeks if you are training for a specific event. We recommend that you start with a weekly volume that your body is currently able to cope with, which might mean starting on the beginner level before moving to intermediate a few weeks later. If it is a 16 week training program and you have 12 weeks till your event. I recommend you start at Week 1 and see how much volume you currently do and work out if this starts at a similar level. You dont want to increase your volume by more than 10% per week.
