I’m currently following your 100k. Loving it. But notice with this one there’s more focus on zone 2 and low zone 2/zone 1. Whereas on my plan I feel like you recommended doing the majority of easy mileage at zone 1. Is this a deliberate change? And should I implement it in my 100km training? Thanks so much - never done a 100km b4 so freaking out a bit!
In Kilian’s book he said to do almost all training in Z1 but for me personally I switched all the Z1 training for Z2. I just figured he’s like ultra elite so he can’t really comprehend what us normal runner are going through haha. I still try to do like 1 run a week in Z1 but focus mostly on Z2. If it’s working for you though that’s awesome! And you’re going to crush your race! What race are you doing?
@@runningforviews thanks for this. I checked after and your 100k plan I’m using says almost all the white and blue blocks (including long runs) are to be z1. So that’s a definite shift. I think I’m going to incorporate more z2 now I’ve seen your video and response. Thanks so much for clarifying. There is actually no mention of z2 on the whole 100k plan.
If you’re doing Hardrock then I would recommend my other video I did on the normal 100 mile training plan. Super jealous you get to do Hardrock. Good luck!
@runningforviews Yes! I watched it and am going to look into doing it. Of note, I am a huge fan of the Uphill Athlete and found the book a while back because I train by heartrate. It is awesome and Jounet is a big HR training guy.
Question for you: how much vert do you do in your b2b runs for training? Example: if you do 20 miles with 6K of vert on Saturday, and Sunday is another 20 miler, do you do the same vert or do less? Curious your take given you have some b2b workouts that are 35 miles or more.
@@michaelmarchand7336 great question. Just looked it up in the book (which I would definitely recommend getting) and Kilian says to plan on training a minimum of your goal event's total vertical during two of your specificity weeks. So those would be the back to back 35 mile ones you were talking about you would want to like 30,000 feet of vertical on these weeks with around 70% of the 30,000 on those back to back long runs. Does that make sense?
What do you guys think? Will this get you to that 100 mile finish line? Thanks for watching!
About to find out I start in 10days
@ no way!! You got this! What race are you doing?
@@runningforviews it’s called Grasslands 100 it’s by Ft.Worth Texas
@@runningforviews I’ve only ran a 50k and I’m a little bit over weight so it’ll be a struggle. But I get about 30-40miles a week in right now.
@@barrick4807 you got this! Just take in calories and don’t go out to hard!
This sounds like a great training plan! Can’t wait to try it out
Let me know how it goes!

@@conradburdekin722 you can definitely keep following it the way that it is. It’s what Kilian recommends so I don’t think you can go wrong with it!
Training for Hardrock so, like you, going to be looking at a lot of vert.

@@michaelmarchand7336 love that book! The 100 mile training plan in is the best. Will definitely help get you to the finish line!

Can you make a couch to 100 mile training plan? haha
That's basically what this one is if you slowly increase your base mileage to about 30 miles a week and then start this plan!
