TRAINING PLANS
There are countless ways to take part in Endure24.
From a solo runner chasing the hallowed 100-mile Yellow T-shirt to an XL team measuring success in laughs rather than laps, our Training Plans, brought to you by Runna, are designed to cater to as wide a range of participants as possible. All our plans are 10 weeks long, and designed to get you fighting fit to take on Endure24 this summer.

Free Training Webinar
Endure24 is a race like no other.
Whether you’re going solo or taking part as a team, the unique loop-based format and non-stop action presents some unique challenges: How do you prepare for a race that lasts all day? How do you recover between laps? How do you get the balance just right between too much ice cream and not quite enough?
On 5th March we spoke to England marathon runner Anya Culling and Endure24 Course Record holder Joe Baker to answer these questions and more.

TRAINING PLANS
BROUGHT TO YOU BY
ONE LAP (5 MILES / 8KM)
Who cares about going far when you can go fast? Every year at Endure24 we see some truly ridiculous times for single laps.
This ten-week training plan is designed to encourage you run a fast 8km/5-mile lap at Endure24, before putting your feet up and enjoy a weekend camping in the sun.
Chocks away!
THREE LAPS (15 MILES / 24KM)
If you’d like to get a decent distance under your belt whilst making the most of the basecamp atmosphere, this is the plan for you.
SIX LAPS (30 MILES / 48KM)
Bank six laps at Endure24 and you’ll have gone beyond a marathon and into ultra terrain!
This plan will help you build the endurance required to go the distance – how you want to run those laps is up to you.
TEN LAPS (50 MILES / 80KM)
Pulling off 10 laps at Endure24 is no small feat.
Whether you’re running as a pair or solo, this plan is designed to help you prepare for spending upwards of 10 hours on your feet across the weekend.
TWENTY LAPS (100 MILES / 160KM)
100 miles is widely regarded as the ‘gold standard’ for solo runners at Endure24.
For all but the most experienced athletes, it’s going to take more than 10 weeks of training to pull this off. We recommend you start this plan with a solid base and at least four weeks of structured training already under your belt.
