COMPEX TRAIL RUNNING TRAINING PLANS

Take your Trail Running Training to the next level by incorporating Compex! We offer 3 different Triathlon training plans which cover the 3 separate distances: 23km trail, a 42km marathon, and a 80km trail, or in other words beginner, intermediate and advanced. Our programs can help you from start to finish in your quest for greatness.

In this training plan, we will cover running distances and durations. The intensity of the workouts is dependant on your level.

If you are highly motivated and have time, you can also add Core Stabilisation sessions into the schedule from weeks 1-7. We recommend 3 sessions per week for at least 3 weeks, depending on your level.

New to Muscle Stim and want to learn more about the benefits? Explore our "Compex Muscle Stim 101" page. You can also learn more about how best to train with Compex on our "Training with Compex" page.

We also offer some really useful top tips for using your Compex muscle stimulator for training, in addition to our "Training with Compex" page.
