Whether you are taking on the Gore-Tex® 50 Mile distance or the 5K, you can’t start training and planning for race day soon enough. There are many different ways to approach endurance training, some prefer to follow the guidance of a training plan or to run with a local running club.
The North Face® worked with Carmichael Training Systems (CTS) to develop official training plans for the Endurance Challenge Series. Get expert training plans with The North Face® Training Tracker, powered by Training Peaks™.
