Great to see that you succeeded. I think what you’re doing is probably ideal for young runners. My recipe is totally different, largely because I’m in my sixties and simply cannot run every day. I always have a day of not running after every running day. I do 20 km, rest day, 20 km, rest day, leg strength (three sets of up to 60 Bulgarian split squats on each leg and two sets of at least 30 one legged glute bridges, then the day after the leg workout I do the long run on tired legs, up to 45 km. Finish with another rest day. Repeat weekly, starting with the third run at only 20 km and slowly ramping up to 45 km near the end. No taper really, just skip one or two runs in the week before the race and shorten the long run starting a couple of weeks earlier. That’s a routine that builds strength and endurance without causing injuries in an old guy like me. Never do less than 20 km. Gets me to the finish line in the middle of the pack on a 100 mile course with about 3500 m of climb and descent - not a mountain ultra!

Congrats 🎉🎉

AWESOME!

I had a DNF last year on a tough course for my first 100 mile attempt. After my DNF I had a long talk with one of my running mentors and it was decided that I try a “easier” 100 first just to get one under my belt. I’m attempting my next one this October and I have high expectations.

Kilian is the goat 🐐

Editing on point

Doing first ultra 50k in January pretty excited hitting 50 miles a week right now trying to maintain

Is this the ginger David goggins?

Interesting video! I would be interested how you managed to squeeze the big weeks into your time schedule, with things like work and all others things.

Make sure to check out “Training for the Uphill Athlete” (link in description) for the longer version of this training plan! Thanks for watching! Also, You can switch the zone 1 training for zone 2 in this training plan.

Can you maybe add the full 24 weeks program? Not just the 16 weeks? 😊

Hell of a training plan. No doubt those back to back long runs got you over the finish line. Do you incorperate any running spwcific strength work in to this or is it all running?

Thanks for the great video! What was your average mileage before starting the program?

Cool.

thanks for the plan! looks too much volume for us not professionals to be honest but i guess 100 miles isnt easy to prepare and finish...what could be lowest milage in back to back runs if im training just to finish a race?

What days did you do your hill workouts during those weeks?

How do define Zone 1? HRR, Lactate Threshold or Max HR? Cheers

It worked great! I went into a coma. I don't have to listen to my wife anymore.

You look so healthy and fit
