Q How can I best prepare for a multi-day ultra?
A Train on tired legs by doing double-run days (where you run twice in one day) and also consecutive running days. These will prepare you physically and mentally for how you may feel during the race. Plan at least two to three training blocks with high, multi-day mileage five to seven weeks before your event. And cross-train by cycling or swimming to limit overuse of the same muscle groups by doing excessive running.
I would also recommend training with weights at least twice a week, focusing on your legs and core, as building strong muscles will help with endurance, recovery and injury prevention. Include exercises such as lunges, forward and side planks, step-ups, Romanian deadlifts and goblet squats.
