100 Mile Trail Ultra Training Plan - Competitive
About this plan
The whole plan points at one thing: 100 Mile Trail Ultra. Across 18 weeks and roughly 8.3 hours a week, it builds you toward an ultra-distance race with nothing in there that does not earn its place.
Every target is set as a percentage of your own threshold pace and heart rate, so it fits you and not some average athlete. The weeks climb and then ease in three-week blocks, and across them your endurance, your pace and the durability to hold it late on are trained in balance.
Follow it properly and the aim is clear: have you racing at the sharp end at 100 Mile Trail Ultra.
