Not your typical online training plan- Perfect for coaches and athletes looking to utilize the plan, build out an elite 1500m or Mile program, increase event knowledge, or expand their workout library.
Training for the 1500m is all about finding the right mix of aerobic development, race-specific work, and raw speed. It’s one of the most demanding events in track and field because it sits at the intersection of endurance and power—requiring both a strong aerobic engine and the ability to change gears late in a race.
As someone who’s broken 4 minutes in the mile, competed professionally for over a decade, and had the chance to be coached by some of the best minds in the sport, I’ve seen what works at every level. Over the past 10 years, I’ve also coached high school athletes, national champions, and everyday runners looking to get the most out of themselves. My goal with this plan is to bridge the gap between elite training principles and practical application, giving you the tools to build a smarter, more effective path toward your best 1500m or mile.
This program is structured into three progressive phases
Base Phase – Building a strong foundation of all training aspects
Pre-Competition Phase – Shifts focus to heavy specific work to prep the body for racing
Competition Phase – Sharpening event-specific workouts.
Each phase includes 18 workouts to target all aspects of 15000m performance
Speed & Power Development – Hills, Wickets, Track Speed and Power
Aerobic/Strength Workouts – Threshold, Progressive Tempo and Combo Workouts
Event-Specific Workouts – 3000m to 800m specific workouts
In a traditional weekly setup, these workouts are typically scheduled as:
Monday: Speed & Power Development
Tuesday: Aerobic/Strength
