Run Squad is Purple Patch’s coach-supported training program designed to help runners get faster without burnout, injury, or the need to pile on endless mileage. Many of our athletes do it with peak weeks of 35 miles or less.

Flexible training, strength, cross-training, and real coach support — combined to help busy runners run faster and stay healthier.

Stop Doing the Same Thing and Expecting a Different Result

If your marathon plan is only built on more miles and more intensity, there’s a good chance one or more of these shows up:

• Small pains that turn into injuries

• Fatigue builds week after week

• The plan falls apart when life gets busy

• Race day comes, and you blow up at mile 20

For most amateur marathoners, the issue is not effort.

It’s strategy.

For busy runners, the best results come from a better approach — not more mileage.

Run Squad is not your typical off-the-shelf training plan.

You’re not just getting a marathon block. You’re getting a progressive year-round run program, plus a focused build for your A-race.

Inside Run Squad, we combine:

• Intentional KEY run sessions that make every mile count

• Cross-training to build your engine without excessive impact

• Strength training that improves durability and performance

• Flexible structure that adapts when ‘life happens’ - without sacrificing your momentum

• Coach access so you’re fully supported — and are never left guessing
