TRAIL 50K TRAINING PLAN
Before starting this plan, you should be able to run a half marathon distance. If you’re not yet training to that distance, follow one of our half marathon training plans first
Ultra marathons are all about training volume over speed. You need to run a lot of miles in training if you’re going to run a lot of miles on race day. You’ll be using your aerobic energy system which uses fat as fuel, so you need to make sure you train within your aerobic training zone. This means that, for the majority of your runs, you’ll be keeping the pace nice and easy.
