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.

I don't have a local club, so I needed a 'coach in my pocket.' The instructions for each workout are crystal clear. I knew exactly what pace to hit every single day.

The way it plan includes medium- to long-distance runs during the week really built the stamina I needed to avoid hitting the wall.

The speed endurance sessions moved the me to the next level. Thanks Esen 👌 for this type of plan. Just follow the plan to see results.

Every session has a purpose. I especially liked the long runs with fast finishes. It trains your mind to keep pushing when the legs want to quit at mile 10

I appreciated that this wasn't just high mileage. The intervals at 10K pace really helped my efficiency.

I’ve hovered at 1:33 for three races. This plan changed my approach to tempo runs. Instead of just fast, the plan had me doing running at goal pace! Appreciate it, thanks 💪💪
