Why a training plan?
For this blog, we are going to run through the top reasons for having a training plan. Maybe you have a specific race and goal in mind or just want to increase your speed. Whatever your reason for running, there are a number of reasons why following a training plan is a fantastic way to get more from your running. Here are some of our top reasons for following a plan:
Convenience
Tech is now such an important part of our life. Long gone are the days where you need to input your pdf plan into an excel and track your running manually. With the Coopah app, we ensure your runs fit your current levels of fitness. We let you know when to run, how far and at what pace based on your running data.
Injury prevention
Running at a pace tailored to you means you’re less likely to get injured and more likely to build confidence to know you can go faster. Our plans are written by running experts and are designed to ensure you don’t run further than you should. Coopah Members also get access to a range of strength and conditioning and yoga videos to support them through their training.
Finally, an app with strength and conditioning and yoga included!
Be accountable
Imagine a plan, on your phone which tells you each morning what your session is. Coopah allows you to have your workouts and paces written for you. This takes the stress out of running. No more, “how far shall I run today?” but a commitment to the fact you’ve purchased a plan to help you hit your goal.
Hit your goal faster
By having a running plan, it means you are most likely going to be running the right session at the right time, no more daily plods. A training plan incorporates a range of runs to make sure running stays fun and adaptive. With Coopah, you can enter the date of your race and know that the hard work is taken care of, it’s over to you to do the fun part…the running.
Whatever your goal is in 2023, we have a plan for you. Pick a date between 6 weeks to 24 weeks away and let us take care of the rest.
