Been back into running for about a year after a long hiatus. When I ran before it was just for cardio but I did a half marathon back in the day.

Now I’m more focused on form, different types of runs, etc. and things are going great.

I’m using a training plan my physical therapist gave me for my race that’s coming up soon. I was wondering, what do I do after the race? When are the easy runs? When are the tempo runs? When should I do speed work? When are the long runs?

I like distance running (I’m here for the ultra trail stuff) and want to maintain in between races.

Easiest thing to do would likely be join a local running group that has various training distances/pace groups

The one I ran with had two annual sessions for half and full training (a long with 5k/10k ).

When I was training for my first ultra (Yamacraw 50k) I just did the full plan with the training group + 4 miles extra on the long Saturday run. Typically I could find a fool to run them with me :)

At least some of Garmin watches have workout suggestions for daily motivation as well as actual training plans you can do. (Found in the connect app) I don't think the suggestions are always great but what you can do is see your training loads in the different zones and decide if you want/should do some intervals or not. My experience with suggested workouts is I can get multiple days of high intensity in a row which I know makes no sense but the watch is trying to get time in that zone in the "range"
