™Run or race
We love race day. Let’s get you to yours.
Your first 5K, your first marathon, or your first ultra. Every finish line starts with one easy run. Beacon builds the weeks in between around your sleep, your recovery numbers, and the days you can actually train.
Major Tom · your coach, if you pick him“Start where you are. We add a little each week, and we back off when your body asks.”
- Step 1
Your first 5K, from zero
Walk, then jog, then run. Short sessions, rest days that count, and a plan that slows down when you need it to.
- Step 2
5K to half marathon
One longer run each week. Easy days stay easy, so the hard days feel good.
- Step 3
Half to marathon
Long runs, a goal pace you can hold, and a taper before race week.
- Step 4
Marathon to ultra
More time on your feet, more walking breaks, and food on the run. Patient work, one weekend at a time.
