Plan Description
This is for an athlete who wants a non-boring approach to a marathon build or a 50K ultra first-timer.
You may use this plan if you have already established a running routine and want to train more vigorously than a "basic run" to ensure you are set up for success at a long-distance event such as a marathon or an ultra (50K).
The workload is a tad intense so you must commit and stay on top of it. Running consists of 5-6 days. Does not include strength training but highly recommend easy 15 minute ST exercises on easy run days.
