The goal is Peura Trail 13 km – training program

Training program 6 km

Instructions for the exercise program

  1. The training program works with a 4-week cycle: the 1st week is light, weeks 2-3 are medium and the 4th is always hard. The most important thing is to keep the light things light, so that the body can certainly recover properly from time to time. During the hard weeks, you can challenge yourself better. 
  2. You can vary between running and walking according to your own experience or e.g. 1 minute run-2 minute walk in periods. Only run short stretches at first. The aim is to build basic fitness, not maximum endurance. 
  3. Sometimes you can replace one run with e.g. cycling, if your legs are not used to running or get sore from a sudden increased load.
  4. A fitness circuit can be bodyweight training, kettlebells or the gym. 
  5. Always listen to your body, DO NOT exercise when you have a cold.
