Length
16 Weeks
Plan Description
This Beginner 50k plan is a 16 week program that is designed for first time 50k runners. Ideally, this will suit a beginner runner who has run at least one full marathon, multiple 5k, 10k and half marathons and is looking to take the step in to ultra running.
It is expected someone taking on this program has running experience of at least 18 months including 5k, 10k and half marathon race distances, as well as at least one marathon. A significant level of fitness is needed to tackle this program.
The program includes aerobic running and aerobic endurance sessions to build the appropriate aerobic conditioning for success over the 50k distance. It also includes tempo and speed sessions to gain the anaerobic capacity, neuromuscular connections and run efficiency to be successful over 50k. This is supplemented with S&C to build a strong, robust and resilient running body.
Most weeks include 4-6 sessions with a structured program of foundation, build and recovery weeks before a short taper in to race day.
