Why runners choose this program

For many runners, the hardest part of a relay leg is not fitness, it is knowing how to pace a single hard effort on alpine terrain, run technical descents with control and show up ready when your team is counting on you. This program builds those skills in order, week by week, so race day feels familiar rather than overwhelming.

Every session is delivered through the Her Trails app, with strength and mobility work built in alongside your running, not added as an afterthought. You will have a weekly live coaching call to ask questions, adjust your plan around work or life, and stay accountable through to race week in Bright.

The Course

Running the Buffalo Stampede 100km Relay

Four runners share the Buffalo Stampede 100km course across the high country around Mount Buffalo and Mystic, splitting the distance and roughly 5,000m of climbing into four demanding legs. Each leg has its own character, from steep technical climbing to fast runnable descents, and your team's result depends on every leg being run well.

This program prepares you for your specific leg while building the shared fitness, communication and race-day logistics a relay team needs. Whether you are running the opening climb or bringing the team home, you will arrive at the start line trained, briefed and ready.

Training is built around a 16 week progressive block that fits around your teammates' schedules, with a shared team framework for pacing, handovers and support crew logistics on race day.

Questions before you commit

I have never done a relay before. Is this program still for me?+
Yes. This program is built for first time relay runners as well as experienced trail athletes. The 16 weeks build climbing strength, descending confidence and fuelling skills specific to your leg, whatever your starting point.
What if training clashes with work, parenting or life?+
For many runners, life load changes week to week, and the program is built with that in mind. Sessions are structured around effort and purpose rather than a rigid schedule, so you can shift days when you need to and your coach can help you adjust without losing the plan.
How does training work if teammates are training for different legs?+
Each teammate follows their own leg-specific plan, so your training matches the demands of the section you are running. Shared team elements, like race-day logistics guidance, are covered separately so everyone stays aligned.
What if I get injured or need to adjust the plan?+
Reach out to your coach through the coaching platform as soon as something feels off. Training can be adapted around niggles, life load or a missed week, and the program distinguishes between normal training discomfort and pain that needs attention.
Is there support if I have questions along the way?+
Yes. Weekly live coaching calls are recorded if you cannot join live, and you can ask questions anytime through the private coaching community.
