In this episode, Coach Sarah and Jason Koop discuss specific strength training programming for ultrarunners. What should you do 9, 6 and 3 months out for an event and what to do when reality strikes and you don't have must time to train. 

Part 1 of a two part series on strength training for ultrarunning with CTS Coach Sarah Scozzaro. We discuss if you are a good candidate for strength training and the two primary reasons you might want to take up a strength training routine. 

Coach Jason Koop speaks with Dr. Justin Ross on mental skills for ultrarunners. How can ultrarunners use awareness, focus and concentration to improve your performance? How does optimism play a role on training and on race day? Does the meaning we attach to numbers like pace and vertical have an impact on how we view performance? We talk about what ultrarunners can do TODAY to improve their mental skills. I found this conversation fascinating and immediately actionable. 

Host Jason Koop talks with CTS coaches Chantelle Robitaille and Duncan Callahan about training for 100 miles. We go over 2 case studies with real athletes training for the Umstead 100 and Leadville Trail 100.
