Bouddi 21km Training Plan

Tackle the Trails with Confidence
The Bouddi Coastal Run 21km is no ordinary half marathon. With rugged trails, ocean views, native bush, and more than a few hills and stairs, it’s as beautiful as it is brutal.
Don’t let the distance fool you—this course demands strength, control and smart pacing, especially through the stair climbs and technical sections.
That’s where our Bouddi 21k Training Plan comes in. Designed to take the guesswork out of your prep, it builds your endurance, sharpens your trail skills, and ensures you’re ready for whatever the course throws your way—without overtraining or burning out.

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.
