12 Weeks to Get Ready For Your 21km Trail Race

Whether this is your first time completing a 21km trail race, or you are a veteran, you need to take a proactive approach to your training, nutrition and body management in order to make it an enjoyable and successful event.

The aim of this 12 week plan is to make sure you know EXACTLY what to do every week to get your body in the best possible shape for race day.

Runners often enter an event, get over-excited, train too hard,  get injured or peak too early. 

To avoid over doing it ... or under doing it, the best way to approach your training is with a specific training plan that will help you to develop endurance and strength, and gradually increase volume, elevation and intensity, so you peak at the right time for your 21km event.

In 12 weeks from now, the aim of the program is for you to be feeling strong and prepared for your event. So you can really enjoy your 21km trail race.

To give you an idea of where to start, the beginner plan kicks off with a weekly volume of approx 23km (longest run week 1 is 7km), and the advanced plan starts with a total weekly volume of 49km (longest trail run week 1 is 12km).

Joined the Locker Room recently as a newbie runner and was amazed at the quality and quantity of the material available and all at an amazing price. Can be a little overwhelming at the start to get into this running thing since there is so much information out there but The Locker Room is a great way to tackle it in bite size chunks. More importantly it caters for beginners as well as experienced runners. Very happy indeed with my new on-line 'coach.'

Thanks Mark so much for your guidance throughout the last three months. I didn’t get the chance to get out to the course before the race, so I had no real idea what I was in for. Because of the training, I just ran and enjoyed the scenery and didn’t overthink anything. The bonus was that I surprised myself on my second trail race ever placing 16th female and a time of 2hrs 25mins in the 22 course. Huge gratification for all your help!  I thought one of the photographers in the last few km’s was joking when he said I’m in the top 20 ladies lol.

Hi Mark, I started your base program in September last year and then followed the beginner UTA 50 program.
I was really concerned about tackling hills and steps with my Achilles tendinitis ( from previous run). Your strength program and 3 min daily stretches were just what I needed. I was successful in completing the 50 kms without any injuries. I’m signing up for a year so I can decide which run I’m tackling next. Thank you!!
