A customized plan to get you to the finish line of a hilly or mountainous 100km and run your best race!
I am a certified running and ultrarunning coach and an experienced mountain and ultra runner. I have completed UTMB 3x (28 hours, 72nd, top 3 American man), Bighorn (9th in 2022), Tor des Geants (2nd American), Cruel Jewel (8th in 2021), Hellbender 3x (2nd and 3rd place), and many more. I've successfully coached dozens of athletes for ultras including UTMB, Grindstone, Vermont, Rio del Lago, Val d'Aran, Bryce, Zion, and Kosziusko.
This Competitive plan is distance-based, starting at 40-45 miles / 65-70km per week. Training volume peaks at ~70 miles (115km) per week.
This plan includes:
- Daily workout type, mileage, and intensity levels
- Recommended type of terrain and vertical
- Specifics workouts (intervals, hill intervals, tempo runs, strides, etc.) targeted to performing your best in a mountainous 100km
- Weekly notes on the training intent and goals for that week
- An intermediate race / event / time trial at 13 weeks (with the option to skip this)
- Recommendations on when to include strength workouts and a set of recommended exercises
