Been back into running for about a year after a long hiatus. When I ran before it was just for cardio but I did a half marathon back in the day.

Now I’m more focused on form, different types of runs, etc. and things are going great.

I’m using a training plan my physical therapist gave me for my race that’s coming up soon. I was wondering, what do I do after the race? When are the easy runs? When are the tempo runs? When should I do speed work? When are the long runs?

I like distance running (I’m here for the ultra trail stuff) and want to maintain in between races.

    Unless you’re at a pretty high level, I’d start with the free plans Garmin offers with their watches. Someone else already mentioned it, but it’s the daily suggested workouts.

    If you don’t have a Garmin watch, then you can buy some nice programs through training peaks that displays through their calendar and can sync with pretty much any fitness watch. I think runners world has a handful of their programs on there for like 20 or so dollars.

    I’ve seen a lot of people talk about an app called Runna recent that’s suppose to do your programming for you. Haven’t used it, but if it does what it says on the box, that also may be a good option. Runna is an ongoing subscription though.

    Welcome back to running!
