How it works

Three steps to race day

No account. No subscription. No generic twelve-week template downloaded from a forum.

    Your race. Your experience. Your schedule. Eight questions, about sixty seconds.

  2. 02

    Build your training profile

    Your answers shape your plan: mileage, pace targets, session load and long-run progression.

  3. 03

    Get your personalised plan

    A structured week-by-week programme built backwards from race day, ready to download.

Week 12 is a cutback week. Volume drops so the next block lands on fresh legs. Your plan places these automatically.

Why BASEMILE

Generic plans assume every runner is the same

They start on an arbitrary week one, at a mileage that isn’t yours, with sessions on days you can’t train. Most runners quietly abandon them by week five.

BASEMILE starts with you, then works backwards from race day.
