About the plan

This 16-week training plan is designed for advanced runners who want to complete a 50-mile (80 km) ultramarathon. The program includes a combination of long runs, tempo runs, intervals and specific hill training to prepare the body and mind for the challenge of an ultramarathon. The plan also incorporates long hikes on mountainous terrain, which are essential for success in ultramarathons. With a gradual increase in volume and intensity, followed by a proper taper, this plan aims to bring the runner to peak form on race day.
