Trail 50 Mile Advanced Plan
Trail 50 Mile Advanced Plan
Length
20 Weeks
Plan Description
This is intended for someone experienced at ultramarathons who has a goal of training for a personal best (for the course or distance). Long runs will begin around 20 miles and build to 31-32 miles in a single session. There will be a number of weeks that will feature 2 longer runs on back-to-back days as well as medium-long runs in the middle of most weeks. Based on the tupical course profile, emphasis will be placed on building speed on flatter terrain and the ability to handle longer climbs and descents. This plan will recommend 6-7 days of running per week.
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.
