I beat my personal best in the 12 k Bloomsday race by more than 12 minutes after following the RunDoyen Bloomsday training plan prepared by T.J Garlatz! I think these race specific plans, customized to your personal time goal, are incredibly good value for the money and an excellent low cost way to take advantage of some great coaching experience.

Bloomsday Training Plan Reviews
“The variety of workouts was refreshing compared to what I’d been doing on my own. Knowing it’s good to do hills, intervals, tempo runs, and such is great, but actually having quantities, distances, and speeds associated with those was extremely helpful!”
“The plan was very easy to follow.”
“Easy to follow; helpful description of activities and target effort.”
“I was able to have daily definitive goals for my training plan. I also shared this plan with my oldest son who is 20 years old and he was easily able to tailor the plan to his needs and his goals for Bloomsday, which were much higher than my goals as I’m 49 years old and not as fast as I once was!”
“Helped me to quickly and efficiently reach my goal while avoiding possible injuries.”
“It challenged me, at times beyond what I thought I could do, but I was able to be successful with meeting the weekly training goals.”
“It took all the guesswork out of training. I liked the idea that a professional was taking my stats and goal finish time and figuring out what I needed to do to be successful. I live in a sparsely populated area and I do not have access to running clubs or groups to train. I would DEFINITELY pay for this again. I have a fall marathon that I am training for and I am considering using RunDoyen for training. Thank you for offering this! I’m a believer.”
“I liked that it was easy to see each day’s workout and the workouts made sense and we’re do able.”
“Circumstances didn’t allow me to train as plan, but the plan itself and the delivery was excellent. Will definitely use again!”
“The training plan was flexible and I was able to shuffle days around a bit as needed to work with my healthcare work schedule. The variety in the runs each week kept things from getting mundane.”
