"I experience mastery and progression with a structured running program," says Morten.
Meet Morten Moen-Larsen, a 42-year-old father of three who likes to run. He has been running for several years, but mostly in relation to what everyday life allows and without a plan. He has previously completed two full marathons and several half marathons and was now ready to take running to the next level.
The choice fell on RunAgain's individually adapted running program which is included in our Premium subscription - link: https://runagain.com/no/premium. By taking a few minutes to answer questions about goals and the number of sessions per week, you are guided through a process where you get your own customized running program. The running program is created based on today's form towards your own goal, regardless of whether it is 5 km, 10 km, 21 km, 42 km, or ultra.
The plan helps with progression
When we speak to Morten, he is 6 weeks into the program. The plan is to run the marathon in 3:45, which for him will be a new record. He now runs 3-4 sessions a week, which is one session more than he was used to. Morten feels that having a structured program is positive because it "pushes" in a good way so that he gets out on the extra trip a week. I like that I can see the weeks ahead in the program so I can prepare for upcoming sessions. Last week, for example, the total distance was 50 km, while this week it is down to 40 km. The certainty of a slightly quieter week made it easier to complete the tough 50 km week.
Visible improvement on Strava and heart rate monitor
When asked if Morten experiences progression, he definitely answers yes, and that it motivates him. It has been extra fun to experience progression. It is the structured thing that helps me, both in terms of intensity management and, not least, variety in the sessions. This has been an eye opener for me. Not only does the plan help with motivation, but both Strava and the average speed on the heart rate monitor confirm his experience of progression.
Flexibility and adaptability
If everyday life or the form of the day "takes you", the program allows you to easily move sessions and days around via a simple graphical user interface. This means that you are not locked into the original program, but have the opportunity to adapt it to all of life's other activities and antics.
"I am very pleased and look forward to the continuation", says a clearly enthusiastic runner. We at RunAgain wish Morten the best of luck in the future with the program and his goal of 3:45 in the marathon. We are rooting for you Morten đ.
