Welcome to my Ultrarunning Guide.
This guide is tailored for those who work a standard 40-hour week, are not aiming to set speed records, depend on weekend long runs, and whose primary goal is to finish before the cut-off time.
Whether you're aiming to complete your first 50K or you're a seasoned ultramarathoner tackling distances from 50K to 100 miles or more, this guide is for you.
If you've found it challenging to complete such distances and are seeking a guide that could assist, you're in the right place. Here, you'll find training plans focused solely on finishing—you won't find strategies for beating specific time goals, just advice on finishing comfortably before the cut-off.
This guide is crafted for the steady runner, hence the name: Tortoise Ultrarunning.
Embrace being the Tortoise, not the Hare. Run slowly, at a comfortable and efficient pace that allows your endurance to sustain the many hours on your feet.
Running slowly aims to prevent injuries and maintain a low heart rate, enabling you to complete the race. If you're racing on rugged trails and terrain, moving at a slower pace can help avoid falls. It allows you to concentrate on your footwork and ensure each step is securely placed to prevent falls and injuries.
I hope this guide aligns with your goals and that you'll follow the training plans provided to achieve your objectives and overall ambitions.
