Peloton “You Can Run Outdoors” Training Program: Class List, Schedule, Overview, Badges & Description

Peloton has created a brand new running program designed to let you run for 30 minutes. This new one, however, is 100% made up of Peloton's outdoor runs, so you can run outdoors and just listen to the audio calls. You can find Peloton's original "You Can Run" program (with runs on the Tread) here.

The program consists of 16 runs in total - 2 runs a week over 8 weeks. You start out small, and build your way up to 30 minutes of continuous running at the end of the program
