Basecamp

Basecamp is a 12-week program designed to build your base mileage and get you ready for marathon training. Think of it as your pre-training prep before diving into the official TBR Dream Marathon program. It’s part of TBR Dream University.

The running program was designed by certified USATF Level 1 and RRCA running coach and TBR Dream Marathon founder, Jaymie Pizarro, The Bull Runner.

Who can join?

BASECAMP is designed for those who are new to running, just starting out, or returning after a long break.

It’s divided into 3 progressive phases, each lasting 4 weeks:

  • Phase 1 (Jul 7 – Aug 3): Ideal for complete beginners or those easing back into running. Start here if you want to take it slow and steady.

  • Phase 2 (Aug 4 – 31): Best for beginner runners or those coming back after time off.

  • Phase 3 (Sep 1 – 28): Great for beginners, returnees, or runners looking for a light base-building program before marathon training kicks in.

Note: Basecamp is exclusively available to registered participants of the TBR Dream Marathon.

How does a typical week look?

You will be running 3x a week: 2 weekdays are regular runs while we run a bit longer on weekends. You also have one day of walking. Other days you can choose to rest or cross-train. You can switch the days to accommodate your schedule.

The program encourages run-walk intervals for the program. This means we run then walk for a few minutes and repeat. This method is what we have used for all our marathons with over 6,000 TBR Dream alumni and is based on the Galloway Run-Walk Method of U.S. Olympian and running coach, Jeff Galloway.

All runs are done on your own at your most convenient time and preferred schedule. Runs can be done outdoors or on a treadmill.

Example of Week 1:

  • Mon: rest
  • Tues: run 15 mins
  • Wed: rest or cross-train
  • Thur: run 15 mins
  • Fri: walk 20 mins
  • Sat: rest or cross-train
  • Sun: longer run 20 mins

How will this help you?

Base training will allow you to gradually increase your running time or distance without putting much strain on your body. This safely builds your fitness level whether you are just starting to run or a runner who is just coming back after a long hiatus. This program will improve your endurance slowly but surely with less risk of injury.

This is a BASE TRAINING program. Our goal is to build your foundation for marathon training, NOT go into full training mode just yet. We will go at an easy pace.

How much is Basecamp?

Each phase (4 weeks) costs PHP400 only. That’s only P100 per week!

If you purchase the entire 12-week program, it’s only PHP1,000. You save PHP200!
