Run FAQs

Is the running subscription per four months?
Plus icon

Yes, our running subscription is $178 upfront and lasts for 4 months. It reoccurs every 4 months.

Can I switch between programs?
Plus icon

Yep! Once you are in the program, you can switch between any of the programs. So if you aren’t sure which one to sign up for or sign up for the wrong one, you can always switch once you are in. OR you can move into any other running program when you complete yours.

Do I need to wait until I'm 12 weeks out of my race to train with TLM?
Plus icon

Nope! We actually do not recommend you wait. We encourage you to sign up to start running as soon as you know you want to run a race. We offer so many programs the goal is that you can start where your fitness level is and then build toward your big goal with us! All of our programs increase by volume (miles) or intensity (speed work) one at a time so that you can start where you are at then build to where you want to go!
