The Complete Stride System: Every Running Plan, Couch to 5K to Marathon

Every running plan you'll ever need, without a monthly subscription.

Whether you're taking your first steps or chasing a sub-3 marathon, the Complete Stride System gives you a structured plan for every distance and every level, plus the smart tools to follow it and the guides to stay injury-free.

Built by Will: from a Christmas Day parkrun in 2022 to a 15:25 5K, 32-minute 10K and 1:13 half marathon.

What's inside

• 19 training plans: Couch to 5K, Return to Running, Beyond 5K Base Builder, then 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon at Beginner, Improver, Advanced and Elite (80–110 km/week)
• NEW: Build My Plan: not your week? Design your own plan. Choose how many sessions (we suggest 2 max), easy runs (1–16 km) and long runs you can do, pick your days and sessions from a race-specific library (e.g. 5× 1 km @5K, 12× 400m, 3× 1 mile), and it builds a dated plan with YOUR paces that the Run Coach follows too
• Personal Pace & Heart-Rate Zone Calculator: your paces from your race times (VDOT method), your HR zones from your own heart-rate data
• Smart Training Log with injury-risk warnings
• Race-Date Plan Builder: enter your race date and every session gets a date AND your personal pace
• Smart Run Coach: log each run and get instant feedback (what went well, even better if, what next and the bigger picture), plus a one-click prompt for a deeper AI coaching chat
• Goal-Time Finder: pick your target (e.g. sub-30 5K, sub-2:00 half, sub-4:45 marathon) and see which plan to choose and the times that prove it's realistic
• 'When life gets in the way': exactly what to do after missed runs, illness, holidays, or with no track or hills nearby
