There are a few things you can do in your training to be ready to run up and down those hills. First, hill training - using hills in your training. The two main type of training runs doing that will be your hill repeat, and you hill run.
Hill repeat are very similar to interval training, where you go for short burst of effort, followed by a rest. Repeat these run / walk cycle for about 30 min. On the other hand, hill run consist of a mid-distance run with a reasonable uphill gradient, which you will jog consistently up. Beyond physical training, running this hill will help you gauge what is a sustainable pace for race day...because you don't want to blow up during an trail ultra marathon.
Beyond this, to prepare for a hilly ultra marathon, you also need to practice your technique, run downhills, add strengthening session, and become of master of power hiking!
As always - Thanks for watching and remember -
Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
