Training for an Ultramarathon? The 4 Foundations | The Ultra Playbook - Chapter #1: Training
Training for your first ultramarathon and not sure where to start? In Chapter #1 of The Ultra Playbook, I break down the 4 foundations that make the biggest difference when you go beyond the marathon distance.
In this video we cover:
Arsenal: what matters, what doesn’t, and how to avoid race-day mistakes
Fuelling: calories, quality, and how to actually keep your body moving for hours
Compounding: the real secret behind sustainable endurance fitness
Repair: recovery habits that keep you training and injury-free
If you are new to ultra running, this is the roadmap I wish I had.
Key lessons:
1. Kit will not run your race for you.
2. Eat as much as you can comfortably.
3. Sugar is not the answer (for most of us, most of the time).
4. Variety is the spice of life.
5. Sh*t in, sh*t out: fuel quality matters.
6. Embrace the power of compounding.
7. Just Stretch (seriously).
8. Strength training matters.
9. Keep the body moving (active recovery).
10. Make time to stop the grind.
