ABOUT KILLIAN 5K TRAINING PLANS
The Killian 5K started in 2018, and is in honor of Killian Cavanaugh who passed away in 2016. Proceeds from the race benefit The Killian Cavanaugh Foundation and more specifically, The Killian Patrick Cavanaugh Memorial Scholarship Fund.

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.
