About this episode:
The biggest about training for an ultramarathon? The time. It takes a lot of time.
Thankfully, a lot of us don't need to train MORE, we need to train BETTER.
By optimizing your training, you can actually create more time to do what you need to do.
1 - Make the most of your run training. Don't run in a metabolic "dead zone."
2 - Strength train effectively. Don't choose ineffective movements or exercises that don't support your goals.
3 - Ruthlessly cut stuff you don't need. For example, 800 repeats are silly if you're not in a dedicated speed-building phase.
4 - Frequency before volume and intensity.
5 - Prioritize your recovery. If you recover better, you get more out of your training, and then you can train less.
BONUS: Practice race day skills so you don't waste time unnecessarily on race day.
