ABOUT CRAZYLEGS TRAINING PLANS
The Crazylegs Classic is an 8K running race held each spring in Madison, Wisconsin. The course starts at the Wisconsin State Capitol and ends at Camp Randall Stadium. First held in 1982, the race was named in honor of Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch, a former UW-Madison football player.

Our method
-
With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.
-
We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.
-
Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
