West Highland Way Race Training Plan - Improve

About this plan

Targeting West Highland Way Race? This is the plan for it. 17 weeks, a big 12 hours a week, every one of them built around an ultra-distance race rather than adapted from a template.

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: take a real chunk out of your previous time at West Highland Way Race.
