Intro: This is a quick summary of All My Running Has Led To This | Training for 100 Mile Race from The Running Channel. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to watch the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

The runner is beginning a 100‑mile ultra with just over 3 months to go, using a 6‑hour “time on feet” long run to gauge fitness.
He runs a 3.3‑mile loop (about 2 km) and aims for roughly 30 miles in a single session.
Back‑to‑back long runs (10‑20 mi) and 9–10 hour “hike‑style” runs are used to build fatigue resistance.
Complementary training includes static‑bike sessions during work hours and frequent recovery runs.

Workout Example:

Goal: 6 hours on feet, 3.3 mile loop.
Structure: Run continuously for up to 6 hours, aiming for ~30 miles (≈9 laps).
Pace: Easy, conversational pace (no specific pace given).
Progression: After the 6‑hour run, aim for a 9‑lap (≈29.5 mi) run in under 6 hours (the video achieved 5 h 51 m).

Closing Note: Give this long‑run challenge a try and adjust the distance or time to suit your own fitness level using the Pacing app. Good luck, and enjoy the journey toward your 100‑mile goal!
