Designed for Expert category athletes with a solid aerobic base (20+ miles per week running), this 8-week plan incorporates structured VO2max intervals, uphill tempo work, and high vert long runs to peak for race day.
Races in the Cirque Series typically cover 6 to 9 miles with 2,200–4,000 feet of gain and loss on steep ski resort style terrain. The races are short and relentlessly vertical. Cirque Series courses demand sustained uphill power, technical downhill speed, and race-specific fitness at grades of 10–20%. This plan directly trains all three. Expect 5 to 6 sessions per week with two key quality sessions and one long run.
I'm here to support you in achieving your most ambitious aspirations. Whether you're gearing up for your first ultramarathon or training for your 10th 200 miler, my goal is to get you to the starting line fit, healthy, and prepared to put your best foot forward. Questions? Text me: 917-991-4696
