Which Plan Should I Choose?

Click Through 6 Simple Steps to Choosing Your Plan

Count the number of weeks until your "A" target race date. And choose a plan to take you right up to race day.

Phil's plans are Periodized to gradually ramp up your endurance, fitness, speed, and skills. And include a taper period ahead of race day.

Keep in mind that the longer the plan, the easier it starts and the more gradual the progression.

The difficulty level you pick is influenced by the duration of the plan. If you opt for a 12-week plan, it will begin at a higher level than a 36-week plan because there is less time to gradually build up. Therefore, if you choose a shorter plan, it is advisable to be cautious when selecting the difficulty level.
