Upping the distance, gradually - the jump from 50 mile ultras straight to 100 miles sounds a bit much so I’ve booked the Race to the King 100k (65 mile) ultra in June 2024. Does the training differ at all? What should I be doing? And as usual for this exhausted mum, what’s the minimum I can get away with? Coach and Physio Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching is here again to share his advice, ahead of his Chianti Ultra Trail this weekend - good luck Tim!

How to go from 50 mile ultras to 100km (65 mile) ultras with coach Tim Pigott was originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/7HxwV9Onefo

In 2000 a car on the wrong side of the road, overtaking on a blind summit, crashed into coach Tim's car leaving him in a coma for two weeks and life-threatening injuries that took him years of surgeries and rehab to recover from. He is now mostly held together by metal. Find out more about the accident and his road to recovery here https://www.youtube.com/live/dRzi1AvUNOA

Coming up next time with Tim:

I feel tired and exhausted a lot of the time - maybe the next episode could be about that! Is it over training, under fuelling? Or just a byproduct of having an energy-absorbing toddler and full-time job?
