Running is at the heart of Edge.
Whether you are new to running, coming back from time off, or chasing a race-day goal, your plan is designed to meet you where you are and help you build from there. With the right structure, smart progressions and support from the team at Edge, running can actually feel good. That is the aim.
What Makes Edge Running Different
Most running plans are too generic or too aggressive. Edge takes a different approach.
Your plan is built using your pace, your schedule and your goals. Then we layer in smart progression, realistic targets and rest where you need it. You will know exactly how hard to go, how far to run and how it fits into the rest of your week.
This is running that works for real life.
What You Will Be Doing
1. Easy Runs
Why it matters
These runs help you build your base. They teach you to run with control and improve your aerobic fitness, you may feel like the paces are too slow, but running easy is where real progress happens. Slower paces build your aerobic engine, reduce injury risk and help you recover properly between harder sessions. If it feels too easy, you're doing it right.
How it helps
Most of your running should feel conversational (i.e. you can chat to a friend at the same time). Easy runs help you recover, get consistent and avoid injury.
2. Intervals and Speed Work
Why it matters
These sessions build power, improve your top-end pace and make race pace feel easier.
How it helps
Short bursts of faster running followed by recovery help boost your fitness and mental sharpness. Edge will tell you exactly how fast to run each rep.
3. Long Runs
Why it matters
Long runs build endurance and prepare you physically and mentally for your goal distance.
How it helps
These runs are about time on feet, pacing and patience. You will progress them gradually across the block, depending on your level.
4. Tempo and Threshold Runs
Why it matters
Tempo runs help you hold a faster pace for longer without dropping pace.
How it helps
Running just below your limit improves your ability to deal with fatigue and builds strength under pressure.
How We Set Your Paces
Your paces are based on either a recent race result or the pacing test inside the app. Once we have your pace, we can scale every session to your level. No guesswork. You can always update your 5k time trial!
Why Running Training Matters
Running is more than just cardio. It builds mental resilience, aerobic capacity, discipline and belief. And when you pair it with strength and HIIT, it becomes even more effective.
Whether you are aiming for a personal best or just want to enjoy running without pain or burnout, we will guide you there.
