Speed Play: A 10-Week Strength & Speed Plan for Runners

Short. Spicy. Shockingly effective.

Speed Play was designed during peak summer heat for runners who want to train smart, get fast, and still enjoy their running—even when the weather (or life) is trying to melt you.

This 10-week training plan helps you build power, strength, and speed without cranking your mileage into burnout territory. It's perfect for runners who want to get quicker across distances like the 5K to 10K, or who just want to sharpen their edge with intentional work that doesn’t wreck their recovery.

What’s Inside:

• 10 weeks of structured training focused on speed development, strength, and form

• Lower overall mileage with high return workouts

• Polarized training approach that alternates effort and recovery intentionally

• VDOT-based pacing so your workouts align with your current fitness level

• Instant download of the companion Ebook with training tips, mobility work, fueling support, and more

This plan is field-tested, coach-refined, and intentionally built for runners who want to run faster without adding more volume to their plate.

Perfect For:

• Runners training in high heat or needing a lower-mileage season

• Athletes who want to focus on improving their mile, 5K, or 10K speed

• Anyone looking to re-ignite joy, sharpen performance, and train with purpose—without 15+ mile long runs

• Self-led runners who want smart guidance, not private coaching

Let’s flip the script on summer training.

Train smart, sweat less, and come out faster.
