Final thoughts
I think that success in most running races (road and trail alike) is to understand the demands of that particular race and to address them with specific training. For example, to move swiftly through mountainous terrain, focus on skills and good running technique on uphills and downhills is equally as important as completing physically demanding and fast sessions. Similarly, the ability to cover long distances is a result of being able to conserve energy (being more economical) during long-running hours without fatiguing too much and too early. This plan will balance endurance training, speed development, running technique, and strength to prime you for a challenging ultra trail race.
