FAQ
What exactly am I buying?
A complete, research-backed training system as a PDF eBook. Not just a weekly schedule: a dedicated page for every week of the plan explaining that week's sessions — what each one does, why it's there, how it should feel, and what to watch for — plus chapters on how the plan works, pacing, strength work, race fueling, everyday nutrition, recovery, and race week. THRESHOLD covers the 10K in 8 weeks, TEMPO the half marathon in 12, THE WALL the marathon in 18.
How is my eBook delivered?
Instantly. After checkout you land on a download page, and we email you the same download link so you can come back to it later. Check spam if it hasn't arrived within a few minutes — and if it's truly lost, contact us and we'll resend it.
How does the ARC CUSTOM plan work?
You answer around 20 quick questions in the plan builder — recent race results, weekly volume, goal race and date, heart-rate data if you have it, injuries, your schedule. We calculate your personal training paces and zones from your actual results, build a week-by-week plan scaled to your available weeks and volume, and write the narrative around your specific situation. It's generated within a few minutes of checkout and delivered by email as a PDF, built in the same format as the standard books.
What if I don't know my heart-rate or other optional data?
Skip anything you don't know. Required is only what we genuinely can't work without: a recent race or time-trial result, your current weekly running, and your goal race. Everything else sharpens the plan but the plan is complete without it.
Which distance should I pick?
Pick the race you've actually entered. If you're between distances or your race is an unusual distance (15K, 25K, a trail race), the custom plan handles any distance and any timeline — that's what it's for.
How do payments work?
Checkout runs through Stripe — cards, iDEAL, Bancontact, Klarna and more depending on your country. We never see or store your card details.
Can I get a refund?
Digital products are delivered instantly, so sales are final once the download link is issued — the details are in our returns policy. But if something went wrong — wrong product, broken file, plan doesn't match what you entered — contact us and we'll make it right.
I'm injured / a total beginner — will these plans work for me?
The standard systems assume you can currently run at least ~30 minutes without stopping. If you're dealing with an injury, the custom plan asks about it directly and builds guidance around it — but a plan is not a physio: sharp or worsening pain belongs with a professional first, on paper second.
