Trail 50 Mile Easy Plan
Trail 50 Mile Easy Plan
Length
20 Weeks
Plan Description
This is intended for someone training to complete their first 50-miler. Due to the added length of the 50-mile distance, it is recommended that runners have completed a marathon previously before tackling this plan. In the absence of a marathon, runners should be comfortable with runs of 18-20 miles before tackling this plan. Long runs will begin around 15 miles and build to 30 miles in a single session There will be a number of weeks that will feature 2 longer runs on back-to-back days. This plan will recommend 5 days of running per week (with the option for added mileage).
Structured workouts are built for running by effort (using the Rating of Perceived Exertion, or RPE, scale), which tends to be more effective when training for trail races.
The plan includes basic strength/core work for runners and athletes would benefit from having at least a set of resistance bands and access to basic weight equipment.
