Welcome to EHP Performance!
Our goal is to help you explore your human potential. This 12 week intermediate 50k Ultra program is designed to turn you into the best mountain man/woman you can be. This training plan is aimed at the semi experienced runner who already has a decent base. That being said we will build you up with "lower, easy" miles for the first few weeks. After we have solidified your base, we will begin to implement higher volume weeks and add in some intensity.
The program is based around time, rather then miles/kilometers as everyone will be training for a different race. Reason for this, is someone may be training for a 50k with 3000m of vert, where the other may be training for a 50k which only contains 500m of vert. When we begin to add in more volume and intensity we will recommend getting in a specific amount of elevation weekly, which is in relation to the the specific event you will be racing. (Example: Race has 2000m of elevation gain, aim to get in at least 2000m weekly and in some cases will recommend you get a specific amount of vert during your longer runs so you get a good feel of what it will be like on race day).
Example of workouts include easy runs, tempo runs, long runs (sometimes with tempo), and hill repeats. Be prepared for 5-6 workouts per week.
Now enough of me rabbling on, lets get to f*@cking work! Rip Trails or Walk the Plank!
