Welcome to the Ultimate Ultramarathon Training Program (UUTP). The UUTP is more than just a training plan, it’s an all-inclusive programme. You are going to receive resources and learning material to ensure you are able to train, compete and complete any ultramarathon to the best of your abilities.

The UUTP is made up of eight training phases. What is a training phase? A training phase is a four-week training cycle that is specific to developing a specific area(s) of your fitness.
Regardless of when your next ultramarathon is taking place, you’ll be able to mix and match the different training phases to suit your needs.

Let’s get your training underway by selecting your first training phase and setting your thresholds.
Your first week of training is going to be “testing week”. The testing week will help you set your training zones to ensure you’re always training at the most effective intensity.
Following testing week, you’ll begin your first phase one of training.

Who’s it for?
Motivated runners looking to get the most out of themselves.
