Optimize Your Ultramarathon | What I've Learned from Winning and Failing

Join me at my LIVE Masterclass - March 13th https://link.drwillo.com/reigniteyourrunningTarawera Ultra 102km 2023 - Top 10?

Can I do it? Last year, Tarawera was cancelled due to covid, which was lucky for me because I trained so hard that I got a sacral stress fracture a couple of weeks before the scheduled race date đŸ˜„. 

In 2021, I raced totally underprepared and pushed myself so far beyond my physical capabilities that I collapsed at 95km (yes, 95!). I was carried out of the forest on a stretcher. I legitimately thought I was going to die 😬.

In 2020, I smashed my race eight weeks after becoming a Dad and finished 14th overall in one of the most competitive fields ever seen. 

This year, I have taken all I’ve learnt from the previous three years and applied it to what has been an absolutely quality build-up (touch wood 👉đŸȘ”). 

What I’ve learnt and what I’ve changed.
  1. Last long run earlier
  2. Chill on the speedwork
  3. Only two LONG runs within two weeks
  4. Heart rate over pace and power
  5. Visualisation
  6. Easy runs SLOW
