Free distance guides teach the method behind 5K to marathon training. The Run Mastery app turns that method into a plan that fits a normal week, then rebuilds it when life happens.
Because a generic PDF is the same for everyone and the same forever. Everything Run Mastery builds, including 1-on-1 coaching, starts from your goal, your level, and your week.
That means the plans below are not just distance pages. They are the open version of the method: base, threshold, VO2Max, and test, sequenced in the right order.
Get your spot, and your week is built around you by hand, updated every week. Distance guides below explain the training behind it.
Pick your distance
Speed built on base. How to train for a faster 5K without living on the track.
The honest distance. Threshold work on top of a deep aerobic base.
Endurance meets pace. The long run, the tempo, and the base that carries both.
The long game. Aerobic volume, fueling, and a build that respects recovery.

A generic PDF is fixed the day you download it and knows nothing about you. Everything here, including 1-on-1 coaching, is built from your goal, your level and the days you can actually run.
Any level. Every option starts from where you are now, not from a template's assumptions. Most runners train three to five days a week, and volume and intensity scale to your current fitness before they progress.
