Last week we talked about aerobic base building – what is and why you need to be doing it if you’re a runner. If you missed it, go read it here first then come back!
So today I wanted to help you guys out a little more by giving you a couple sample plans to follow. There are 2 plans here for beginner and intermediate runners.
Beginner runners are going to be defined as someone who has been running for less than 6 months.
Intermediate runners will be defined as someone who has been running for more than 6 months.
Now bear in mind, these aren’t customized to you. So some adjustments may be needed, but at the very least you’ll get a great idea of what a base building phase of training should look like.

Hi
my name is Belinda,
How do I calculate the 3 different levels of heart rate training
Hi, Belinda!
There are a few test runs I would recommend doing first and then we would be able to calculate it. All of my one-on-one athletes complete these test runs so I can build out custom heart rate zones for them. If that’s something you’re interested in, I’d be happy to set up a time to talk about your running goals!

I am coming back to running after a nasty lumbar herniation, I miss running dearly. Starting with the beginner bas building plan. Thank you
So happy to hear you are starting up again! Take it super easy as you ramp up again and make sure you’re working with your doctor or physical therapist! Not being able to run is the absolute worst. Welcome back and let me know if you have any questions!
