The MCR Half Project.

The project includes…

This isn’t just an AI training app. Alongside a structured TrainingPeaks programme, you'll receive expert coaching, access to The Clubhouse, weekly Coach's Corner videos, exclusive performance resources, strength training sessions, race preparation guides, community support, and regular feedback throughout your journey. Every element has been designed to give you more than just a training plan—it's coaching by a real coach, backed by a community.

  • Personalised to your ability and current weekly mileage. You will experience a testing block to get accurate training zones on your heart rate and pace data, adaptable program and check in’s with a real coach.

  • This is a virtual clubhouse which includes anything from race day preparation, Coaches Corner where your coach will explain each element of your training plan and briefing you ahead of your next week of training, and weekly challenges to help you improve your recovery, nutrition and sleep habits.

  • Included in the MCR Project is a strength program specific to improving your running performance and injury prevention.

  • Each week, implement a new training concept to your plan to help your performance on race day. Such as cadence training to improve running efficiency.

  • We appreciate that every athlete is different, so our programs and coaching is built around your cycle to help prevent injury, manage energy levels and get the most out of your training.

  • Your testing and training data will be evaluated by a coach for more accurate training zones and feedback rather than using previous race results.

    More personalised progressions to your training plan based on how you’re feeling, niggles you may pick up, and for female athletes, where you are in your cycle.

    Get video feedback on some of your exercises during strength training sessions.

    Also, check in’s with your coach to keep you motivated and engaged in new training methods for each phase of the program.

We will collect pace and heart rate date from your testing at the start of the training block for accurate training zones to make your sessions optimised.

Your running and strength program will be tailored to you. You’ll have weekly check in’s with your coach to cover data from the training week and be briefed on what’s to come. The program can be adapted.

Your race week including the carb load, taper, and race day will be planned from start to finish so you can focus on getting the most out of your performance.
