Train with purpose and strength for your next ultra-distance trail race with this 24-week plan designed to build endurance, climbing ability, and race-day confidence.
This plan is ideal for athletes with a base of 35 miles per week who run at least four days a week. You’ll progress through long runs, aerobic and recovery runs, hill repeats, steady-state efforts, and tempo workouts to enhance endurance and efficiency.
The first four weeks establish a deeper base before introducing hills in Week 5, steady-state runs in Week 6, and tempo work in Week 10 as mileage increases. A 50K tune-up race in Week 19 helps test fitness, fueling, and gear before your goal event.
The plan also includes Core and Hip Stability and Strength workouts with video instruction to help athletes care for their foundation.
Coach Michele is an RRCA Level II Certified Running Coach and Certified Specialist in Fitness Nutrition (ISSA). She currently trains for and competes in ultramarathons of up to 100 miles and has coached athletes to successful finishes at distances ranging from 5K to 200 miles.
