- The generally accepted schedule in training for an Ultramarthon. It is a lot of running, but the structure of the running is the most important. Most plans use a least specific to most specific training plan. I go into detail about what is in the Vo2 Max, Threshold, and Endurance blocks of this running training plan.
Also, tips on how to train specifically to the terrain, climate, and distance of your race, along with some examples of goals you can set, whether process goals or outcome goals.

This conversation provides a guide on how to train for an ultra marathon or set a Fastest Known Time (FKT). The training process is divided into several blocks, starting with least specific training and progressing to most specific training. The blocks include base building, VO2 max, threshold, and endurance. The importance of rate of perceived exertion (RPE) is emphasized in determining intensity.
The conversation also covers topics such as nutrition, gear testing, training camps, tapering, and race day execution.

"Do you want to run an ultra marathon? Are you already signed up for one?"
"Start with the ceiling and build under that into that endurance pace eventually."
"Once you know that level, then you can slot in under it when we move into the threshold block."

I was very pleased to find out this wasn't a sarcastic video. Thanks!
Good luck this year!
On poles - Grindstone 100k 11k of elevation , I’m wondering if really need poles?
On similar courses I have not taken poles. But it depends on what you are comfortable with. Poles burn more calories and make it harder for me to remember to eat (to have a free hand), but they can save the legs with climbing. So if you feel like you don’t get enough climbing in training poles can help
