Bouddi 14km Training Plan

Why train with a plan?
The Bouddi Coastal Run is one of the Central Coast’s most scenic and rewarding trail events—featuring ocean views, native bushland and a good mix of singletrack, fire trail, and stairs. But don’t be fooled by the distance—this 14km course packs a punch with its rolling elevation, technical sections and sneaky climbs.
Training without a clear plan often leads to one of two things: doing too much too soon (and getting injured), or not doing enough (and fading on race day). Our Bouddi 14k Training Plan helps you find that sweet spot—building fitness gradually, improving technique, and keeping you on track all the way to the finish line.

Frequently asked questions
Is this program suitable for a beginner?
This program is designed for runners who have a solid base of consistent training but are new to trail running or stepping up to the half marathon distance. You should be running around 20–25km each week and able to complete a long run of 8–10km comfortably. The plan builds gradually, focusing on endurance, strength, and confidence over mixed terrain. You’ll complete longer weekend runs, mid-week intervals, and trail-specific mobility and strength work to help you prepare for race day without injury.
