Welcome to OSU’s Training page, use the sections below to drilldown to the necessary information you require. before you jump to downloading a training plan take the following into consideration:
- Check out the “How To Get Started” section for the basics
- Make an honest assessment of your current level of training and if you should use our Newcomer, Improver training guides
- Don’t be too concerned which training category you fit into, this is just our rough guide and these training plans are not one size fits all.
- Try to use the training plan that fits best with your lifestyle, don’t try and make it fit.
- Don’t worry if you miss one or two days of training.
- Analyse your progress, ideally keep a log of your runs, times, pace, perceived level of exertion, how you feel before and after each run.
- If you are unwell, stop training and wait until you have recovered. Once symptoms have gone wait a further two days before resuming training.
- or feel the training plan is too much for you, reduce your training and build back up to were you left off once you are feeling better.
