The first 8-week plan is about building base fitness and strength
The second 8-week plan is about working on top end fitness and getting you to the start line fit, fast, healthy and rested.
During the race Karsten will be available to answer athlete questions. He will also offer tips in the Coaches Corner powered by MAD Endurance.
