PCTR Online Coaching Program

Welcome to PCTR's online coaching program. This program is designed to help you prepare for the distance of your choice by providing an outline for safe and effective in-depth training, tailored to your needs. Whether you are participating in your first trail run, trying a new distance, or trying to fine tune your performance, we have an option to suit your preference.

We've developed an 8 or 12 week mileage program for our related race distances, with careful consideration of adhering to sound training principles. By incorporating gradual build-up of mileage, rest days, recovery runs, hard efforts/hill work and long runs, you will get you to the finish line in fine form.
