UTA11 Training Plan

This training plan is for the UTA11 event. It is suitable for someone who is relatively new to running. Ideally you will have done a few 3km – 5km training runs over the past few months, but you may possibly be completely new to running (especially trail running). This program starts with short Run/Walks rather than straight running, which will allow your body to adapt and get strong enough to cope with the longer trail runs and harder mid-week sessions later in the program.
