At Kotcha, we have an obsession. Find the best runners on Earth. Study how they train. Break it down. And hand you the playbook to outrun yourself. That's how Eliud Kipchoge & Kilian Jornet's methods ended up in your training plan. THE METHOD 1. PERFECT PLANNING TO PEAK ON D-DAY. Build phase. Intensity phase. Taper. Every week planned around A and B races to peak exactly on the big days. 2. DAILY ADAPTATION TO REAL LIFE. Paces and workouts update every week based on actual performance, not on rigid templates. 3. STRONGER LEGS. FEWER INJURIES. The Kotcha Strength & Conditioning is built into the plan. Kipchoge's own drills for an injury-free career. 4. THE SAME FUELING SYSTEM THAT BROKE RECORDS. Race-day nutrition strategy powered by Maurten, the fuel behind Kipchoge and Kilian. Now built into your plan, down to the gram, every km of the race. 5. CONSISTENCY BEATS INTENSITY. Getting faster without burning out is the hard part. Your coach tracks both: fitness going up, and power-to-heart-rate holding steady. The metrics used by the champions. --- ROAD. TRAIL. PERFORM ON EVERY TERRAIN. 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, trail — every distance, every terrain. Or just a general plan to become a better runner. YOUR TEAM Built with Eliud Kipchoge and Kilian Jornet and their team — coach, personal trainer, nutritionist and data analyst. The minds that shaped the greatest careers in running. Now coaching you.
