Plan Description
Get the 80/20 Endurance Advantage!
Featuring the proven 80/20 intensity balance described in Matt Fitzgerald's bestselling book 80/20 Running, this Ultra 50 Kilometer Level 3 training plan will provide you with the same workout structure used by the most successful runners in the world.
Who is this plan for?
This plan is a good fit for experienced competitive runners who are prepared to train 2x a day some days in pursuit of significantly improved performance. Before you begin the plan, build your training to the point where you are running at least 3x per week, including some short efforts at high intensities and some easy runs of at least 12 miles.
How Do I Measure My Intensity?
This plan presents each workout's intensity target by Heart Rate but Pace, Power and RPE versions of this plan are also available. Each workout can be exported to a supported device, which will automatically guide you through the session with duration, lap, and intensity prompts. See our Structured Workout page for more information.
