Train Like a Mother Plans
That’s what we’re talking about.
We’ve got 9 training plans in Train Like a Mother:
—5K Finish It + 5K Own It
—10K Finish It + 10K Own It
—Half-Marathon Finish It + Half-Marathon Own It
—Marathon Finish It + Marathon Own It
—A Half-Marathon Bike Plan for Injured Runners (tested by Dimity when she had a stress fracture in her heel)
—Plus, there’s one bonus strength-training routine: Get Ripped Like a Mother.
They’re pretty self-explanatory: The Finish It option is when you’re hitting a race distance for the first time, coming back from injury or childbirth, in the middle of I-have-no-time-at-all-but-must-run doldrums; the Own It option is when you’re up for setting a PR (personal record) or just seeing how badass you are. (Because we know that you are definitely badass.)
We’re generous, but we’d really like you to buy the book so you can train for all race distances, mark it up, and have many of your other pressing questions about racing answered. (There’s a really handy button right to the left of this post if you need a copy of TLAM–or our first tome, Run Like a Mother.)
Do the plans work? Does your kid throw a fit when you leave, then quiet down within seconds for a babysitter, only to have him resume the fit when you walk back in the door?
But don’t take it from us. How ’bout these testimonials:
Boom!
Bam!
Boo-yeah! I mean awesome, awesome, awesome!

I’m so glad I read this post. I also bought the BAMR in kindle format and flipping between the plans is driving me crazy. I will definitely email you about getting pdfs.
Typo question: I’m following (mostly!) the TLAM 5k own it plan for my first official 5K race thksgvg wknd (have been doing adventure races and orienteering type stuff for a couple of years but no 5k races yet!) and my run for tomorrow is the week 8, Thursday must do workout. It says …2×100 at goal 5k RP… Should that be 2×1000? Oh and thanks for making me feel like a real runner!
I bought TLAM in the Kindle version. I want to follow the “Marathon: Finish It” plan for a marathon in March, but I am a “hard-copy” kind of girl when following a training plan. Can you offer any tips for trying to print out the plan or any other ideas for getting a copy I can put on my fridge? Thank you!
Hey Larissa–
Email us at runmother at gmail dot com and we’ll get you a pdf of the plan. Thanks for asking!
Pingback: The Training Plan That Helped Me “Own” 13.1 Miles | Confessions of a Caffeinated Mother Runner
Two weeks to go on your 13.1 Own it plan, then GIANT race in San Francisco. I’m having this vision of myself beating my all-time (pre-kid, less-15-pound) best of 1:59:03 (which will be no small deal, considering lately I’ve been running the 1/2s in 2:10 – 2:15-ish). I’ve LOVED this plan, the speed workouts are super challenging and have been the one thing to bring me back to the track after nearly five years – I forgot how much I love it! So thank you, and two weeks from now, I’m hoping for an even bigger, all-cap THANK YOU!
