12-Week Running Endurance Builder, Level 1
A 12-week hybrid training program that will build your running base and improve your running endurance, even if you are new to running. It is structured to gradually and effectively increase running endurance, while maintaining/building strength, as well as including HYROX-specific workouts.
Level 1 is suitable for those currently running 0 to 10km per week.
The program comes with a spreadsheet that will allow you to track your running and strength progress, with in-built formulas to track your weekly total running time and distances.
The program consists of specific running workouts, strength training and hybrid workouts. It starts at 4 sessions/week, progressing to 5 sessions. It can also be modified to 3 sessions / week.
Weekly sessions, Weeks 1-12:
2 structured runs
1 hybrid workout
1 strength session
Weeks 7-12:
1 additional recovery run
In Week 1, the shortest run is broken up into short intervals in a 3.4km-total session. The first continuous running session is 20 minutes.
By the end of the program you will have built up running volume and endurance. In Week 12 you will be able to complete an 8km-total longer-interval run, a continuous run of 45 minutes, plus an easy recovery run.
