A huge thank you to Nick Kastelein (IG: @NicKastelein) for creating the below training plans for our 5km and 10km competitors.
Even for the shorter events, a training plan plays an important role in helping you achieve your running goals and remain injury free.
Nick, a former Mudgee local, is a professional triathlete and coach, he has spent the past 15 years training and competing in Europe and is a 2 times Ironman winner! So, with a carefully planned program, we’re looking forward to seeing more PB’s than ever!
