Hey Reader, it's Nick here.

You see these 90 day results?

• 5k PB by 90 seconds
• Half-marathon PB by 6 minutes
• Training 4–5 days per week without injuries
• “Longest run ever, no knee pain”
• Finally breaking through a year-long plateau

These aren’t elite runners.

These are regular people who switched to science-based training.

Today, I want to share the exact framework that got them there, so you can start seeing results like this yourself.

(And if you want the exact plans they followed you can find them here.)

Step 1: Solve One Problem at a Time

Most runners make the same mistake:

They try to do everything at once.

Run faster, run longer, lose weight, get stronger, avoid injuries...

Without a plan that actually fixes what's holding them back.

What actually works is figuring out your limiters and addressing them one at a time.

Examples:

• Training at the wrong intensities because you don’t update zones
• Lack of strength work
• Low VO2 Max
• Low Lactate Threshold
• Poor pacing

Science-based training breaks this down systematically so you don’t just “run more” and hope for the best.

If you get this right, everything else in your training improves.

Step 2: Train with Purpose

Even the perfect plan won’t help if you just go through the motions.

Quality beats quantity.

Your plan should tell you:

• Why you’re doing this workout
• When it matters in your training cycle
• How to adapt it to your level

This gives you the knowledge to adjust when life gets in the way.

You become the expert on your own running.

Which will make all the difference.

Step 3: Ditch the Guesswork

Many runners cobble together random workouts they find online.

No progression. No periodization. No idea if it's working.

It’s like cooking without a recipe.

A proper plan gives you the full recipe:

• Structured progression
• Phases that target speed, endurance, durability
• Built-in recovery weeks
• Evidence-based workouts used by real coaches and athletes

If you want results, you have to stop guessing.

Step 4: Make It Work for You

Cookie-cutter plans rarely deliver because they just tell you what to do.

But a good plan teaches you the principles so you know what works for you.

Through testing and adaptation, you’ll know exactly why you’re improving and by how much.

Step 5: Keep Improving

Running isn’t about one race.

It’s about consistent, injury-free progress.

That’s why my approach isn’t just to tell you what to do.

It’s to teach you how to train.

That’s why my videos and training plans are designed to teach you how to apply science-based and real-world training to your own life, while giving you the exact reasoning behind it.

So you can keep applying the principles over and over and actually see the results that you know deep down you're capable of.

See you at the finish line,

Nicklas

PS. You can absolutely figure all of this out yourself.

You can spend hours reading studies, designing workouts, and testing what works like I did.

Or you can grab the plans I’ve already built for you, save all that time, and start seeing results immediately knowing I’ve done the research for you. You can find them here.​
