Not Sure How Far To Go?
Pick the race before you pick the plan. If you’re weighing a 5K against a half marathon, or wondering whether you’re ready to move up in distance, start with reading What Running Distance Should You Start With?, which walks you through what each distance actually asks of you.

Who Writes These Plans
Every Sunrise training plan is written by Coach Andrew Taylor. He’s been running for more than 35 years, has finished over 100 endurance races including the Western States 100, and has crossed the line at eight separate 100-mile ultramarathons.
Andrew holds a USATF Level 1 coaching certification and a CoachUp certification, along with a BS in Exercise Science Education and an MA in Sports Management from The Ohio State University. He has coached runners from a first 5K through a first hundred-miler, and has been doing it from Modesto, California since 2010.
The 10K plans above use the same progressions he builds for the athletes he coaches one-on-one. The workouts don’t get easier because you bought a plan instead of hiring a coach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Start with your race distance, then choose your level. Open the page for that distance and compare the Before You Start line on each plan with the running you’re doing now. That starting point is the real test, not how experienced you consider yourself.
We have plans for the 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, 50K, 50 mile, 100K and 100 mile. We also have 2 bridge plans for runners moving from a half marathon build to their first marathon. There are 20 plans in total.
Plans are $19.99 for the 5K or 10K, $29.99 for the half marathon, $34.99 for a bridge plan, and $39.99 for the marathon or any ultramarathon distance. Each plan is a one-time purchase with lifetime access.
There’s no universal level you have to reach first. Your level can change with the distance, so an experienced 5K runner may still belong in a beginner marathon plan. Every plan has a Before You Start line showing the running routine it expects you to be capable of before Week 1 of the training plan.
Our plans are built to run their full length and end on race day. We don’t recommend compressing the schedule or skipping ahead to make it fit. If your race is too close, target a later race or book a free 15-minute call so we can look at your current training and calendar together.
Your plan is delivered through Final Surge, which is free to use on desktop and mobile. Each day’s workout includes written instructions and effort guidance, and the full schedule stays in your account. You can also download the plan as a PDF for reference.
No. Every plan is a one-time purchase with no recurring charge, and it stays in your Final Surge account for ongoing access.
