Training principles
- A run every day
Six runs a week, 2–3.5 miles each with one longer day on Sunday. Frequent short runs burn more over a week than one long one — and they're easier to recover from.
- Core that trims
Bodyweight-only core three times a week — holds and control, no weighted crunches. It tightens the waist instead of thickening it.
- Lift by feel (RPE)
Pick the load that lands each set at the right reps-in-reserve. As you get stronger the same RPE happens at a heavier bar — that's progressive overload, without a calculator.
- Heavy legs, few sets
Three short machine leg sessions a week keep the load heavy and the volume low — that's what holds glute and thigh size while you're losing weight.
- Deload every 4th week
Every 4th week the runs get shorter and the sets come down so your body absorbs the work and you stay injury-free running six days a week.
- Monday completely off
One full rest day a week. Walk if you want, but nothing is scheduled — that day is what makes six days of running sustainable.
