Training & Medical

Preparing for a trail run or ultra is a big deal! Make sure you're ready to take on the challenge.

Train with Squadrun

HOW DOES IT WORK?

SQUADRUN uses a ‘priority based’ training system to deliver a highly bespoke programme written specifically for you, with your fitness in mind. You get around 7 runs per week to choose from, ordered in importance by priority. Most athletes will select 3-4 of the ‘higher priority’ runs and plan their week around their busy lives, their jobs and family commitments. You decide how much training you can do and with the guidance of two of the most qualified and respected coaches in Australasian, you’ll be in great shape come race day. No set-up fee, no hidden costs and you can leave at any time.

NOT JUST A TRAINING PROGRAMME!

Any coach or online plan can assign ‘work’ but there’s so much more to getting your training right than just going for a few runs per week. Nutrition, pacing strategies, running tips for improving your form, efficiency or execution come race day. The training programme is just a piece in a much larger puzzle. SQUADRUN will help you with all things trail and ultra and will be there to see you finish – no matter what.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

YES! This is a carefully constructed training system that determines exactly what YOU need to do to achieve a specific target. It matters not whether you are looking to complete your first race, or compete for a top 10 finish, the fundamentals of training remain the same. You aren’t paying for a program, you are paying for a service that comes with a program.
