This. Plan. Worked. A year ago, I tried running my first ultramarathon, the Lake Sonoma 50 miler. With almost 10,000 ft of gain, it was admittedly a bold (foolish) first ultra attempt. I bonked hard at mile 38 and barely crossed the finish line just 11 minutes ahead of the official time cutoff. It was painful. This time, I read Training for the Uphill Athlete and followed the plan described and linked to in this video. Not perfectly, but pretty darn close. This year at the same race, I finished an hour ahead of last years time and I honestly felt I could have finished faster. But I went from finishing 195th overall in a lot of pain to finishing 93rd overall with plenty of gas in the tank and a day that I really enjoyed. These are not competitive or bragging placements 😂. But to feel so good while doing something big for me was the goal and this plan was a huge piece of the puzzle. Thank you!
Yay! I’m so happy it worked for you! This is the reason I’m making these videos so it means a lot that you took the time to come back and talk about your success. Keep up the good work. 100 mile here we come! Haha
Yeah, the training relies a lot on back to back long runs. They’re not for everyone but they work great for me. I usually incorporate them into my training instead of doing B races. As for lifting I mostly just do core and leg workouts.

I’ve been wanting so badly to get a pair of his shoes! A little out of my budget but I’ll see what I can do!
Wish there were more 50 mile races in Europe!
For real. It’s such a good distance!
Have you tried Mozart Ultra by UTMB? 80k/4500m vert.

They say the harder it is to read the band name the more hardcore they are
I believe it! Haha
What are your thoughts on doing this 16 wk plan after after a block of marathon training?
I think that should work perfectly. Maybe take a couple weeks easy after the marathon but after that you should be good to go!
The volume during the week seems unusually low and very high on the weekends. Maybe I missed it but how much lifting is done?

Let me know if you have any questions about the training plan! Thanks for watching!
