Frequently asked questions
What if I miss workouts?
Plans are designed with flexibility. Minor misses are fine, just move on. If you’re in a higher-tier package, we’ll actively adjust your schedule and workload to keep you on track. Lower-tier plans give general guidance, so you self-manage missed sessions.
How much time does this take?
Most athletes train 60–90 minutes per day, often split into two sessions. Higher-tier plans include guidance on session structure and recovery, while basic plans give the framework for you to follow independently.
Is this beginner-friendly?
Yes. All packages scale to your current fitness level. Beginners get simpler volumes and intensities, while advanced athletes get more challenging progressions. Higher-tier plans provide detailed coaching and form checks; basic packages do not.
What if I get injured?
Higher-tier packages include personalized modifications and ongoing guidance to keep you moving safely. Lower-tier plans give general advice on alternatives like cross-training or mobility work, you adjust on your own.
Do I need prior race experience?
No. All levels build capacity first. Higher-tier plans include strategic race prep, pacing guidance, and mental strategies. Basic packages focus on fitness development without race-specific coaching.
Who is Vector Forge for?
Athletes who want structure, accountability, and measurable results. We serve runners, hybrid athletes, endurance racers, and people who are serious about improving performance. Service depth depends on your package level.
Who is this not for?
People seeking shortcuts, instant results, or motivation without discipline. If you’re not willing to do the work, none of the packages will help.
Do I need a gym?
A gym helps, but isn’t required. Plans adapt to whatever equipment you have. Higher-tier plans include alternative exercises and equipment substitutions.
How is this different from a generic training plan?
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all PDF. Packages vary from self-managed plans with general guidance to full coaching with weekly check-ins, real-time adjustments, and personalized feedback.
How often do we check in?
Check-in frequency depends on your package. Elite packages offer weekly review and direct coaching; standard packages provide optional weekly templates for self-reporting progress.
What kind of results should I expect?
Improved speed, endurance, strength, and recovery. Elite plans maximize results with active coaching and tailored adjustments. Lower-tier plans rely on your consistency and self-assessment.
Can I do this alongside another sport?
Yes. Plans scale for your lifestyle. Higher-tier packages include integration strategies to avoid overtraining; basic packages provide general guidance.
Is nutrition included?
Nutrition guidance can be added to any plan for an additional fee. Some packages include baseline fueling strategies; full personalized meal plans, macros, and adjustments come only with the nutrition add-on or higher-tier plans.
How long are the programs?
Most plans run 12–16 weeks. Higher-tier packages include reassessment and progression planning. Basic plans provide the initial block only.
How do I get started?
Choose a package, complete the intake form, answer follow-up questions, and schedule a call (for coached packages). Training begins once your plan is delivered.
