Endurance Training in Portugal
Maddy coaches clients across Portugal online — live classes stream in your local time, plans are built from your Body Scan, and pricing shows in EUR alongside INR.

Endurance is built by managing two dials: how much you train and how hard. Maddy's endurance coaching keeps most of your weekly volume easy — conversational pace — with a small, deliberate dose of high-intensity work, the polarized distribution that endurance-training research repeatedly finds in successful programmes. Your plan progresses weekly load conservatively, schedules recovery weeks, and includes two short strength sessions, because durable runners and riders are strong ones. Whether you are building toward a first 10K, a half marathon, or simply a resting heart rate you are proud of, sessions are written with effort targets you can follow by feel or by watch. Check-ins review your completed sessions, perceived effort, and any niggles before they become injuries. Your climate and terrain are programmed around, too — treadmill weeks, flat cities, and heat all have written answers.

Common questions
Why does the plan make most of my runs so easy?
Because that is how endurance is built. Keeping most volume easy lets you accumulate more total training while staying fresh enough to make the hard sessions genuinely hard — the distribution successful endurance programmes converge on.
Do I need a GPS watch or heart-rate strap?
Helpful, not required. Every session includes effort-based targets — talk test and perceived effort — so the plan works by feel; a watch simply tightens the feedback loop.
Can I combine endurance training with lifting?
Yes, and the plan schedules both deliberately: strength sessions placed away from key endurance days so they support each other instead of colliding.
