Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a free plan I find on Google?

Free plans are built for the average runner. This plan is built around your goal time. Every pace, every workout, every recovery day is calibrated to break 40 minutes — not just finish a 10K. It was designed by someone who ran an Olympic final. The gap shows up in the details.

How do I receive the plan?

Immediately after purchase, you'll receive an email with a download link. The plan is a PDF — you can print it or use it on any device.

Is this a one-time payment?

Yes. You pay once. No subscription, no hidden charges. You own it forever.

What do I need to follow this plan?

A GPS watch or running app to track pace, and the ability to run 4–5 days per week. No gym or equipment required.
