Starting to run
A conservative run-walk progression that builds a repeatable habit.
From a first 5K to a marathon, Train Smarter by Attia Performance shapes the week around your current ability, available time, completed training, heat, and humidity — then explains each adjustment.
The goal may be common. The safe route depends on experience, recovery, and the week you can actually complete.
A conservative run-walk progression that builds a repeatable habit.
A current-capacity plan instead of chasing an old fitness level too quickly.
More precise pacing, endurance, and recovery from your completed training record.
A race goal is not enough. The weekly decision uses the minimum context that materially changes training.
Goal, experience, time, and recent training define the opening load.
Easy work, quality, endurance, strength, and recovery fit your real calendar.
Completed sessions and readiness update the next suggestion conservatively.
You see what moved, why it moved, and the practical alternative.

Yes. The baseline reflects your current run-walk capacity rather than another runner's level.
Yes. Each distance has its own progression and success criteria; ultra training remains a separate engine.
Heat, humidity, and training time can change timing, intensity, recovery, and the suggested alternative.
No. Routine-safe decisions are automated; exceptions and specialised cases enter the coach review queue.
