Training Essentials for Ultra Running - Pt 2 with Jason Koop


Listen Later

This week we're back with part 2 of the podcast with Jason Koop.
When I thought more about our conversation I realised that ultra running is much more of an adventure than triathlon is. One of my primary goals as a triathlete was to choose races in venues where I might not normally visit. The potential to get even further off the beaten path is much greater in an ultra than it is in triathlon. It also feels like a much tighter community than triathlon is today. Maybe it reminds me of when I first started out in triathlon 30 years ago. I felt like a pioneer then, and I’m sure that's how some ultra runners feel now.
 
If you have ambitions to take on the ultra marathon challenge then you will enjoy this conversation as we discuss:

 

  • Giving yourself time to prepare for an event is the biggest ergogenic aid (7:30)
  • How to train for an ultra if you live in the city (15:00)
  • Strength training for Ultra runners - "It Depends!!” (21:00)
  • Ultra running nutrition - Keep it simple and avoid energy deficiency (35:20)
  • The importance of hydration especially for races at altitude (52:00)
  • Walking poles, footwear choice and hydration vests (56:15)
  • Mental strategies for ultra runners (1:05:15)
