This plan is designed to get you in peak shape for your target "A" race Ultra Marathon (from 60 to 100k), although you can include other running events. There are usually 4-5 workouts per week including a strength session. There's a day off each week and every fourth week is easier to aid recovery and adaptation. To be successful with this plan you should already be running 3 or 4 times per week and capable of running 1:30 hrs non-stop. Guidance is provided for Heart Rate, Feel or Pace. You can start this plan any Monday.

I have 20 years experience of helping amateur athletes surpass their goals, while still making sure they have quality time available for family, friends and career. As a parent who works for a living, I know how challenging this can be.
My training plans are intelligently designed around a typical work week. I set proven, time-efficient workouts in mid-week, with longer aerobic workouts at the weekends. This gives you the structure and consistency you need to continually improve.
