Intro: The Running Channel’s “All My Running Has Led To This | Training for 100 Mile Race” has solid notes on ultra training. Here are the core takeaways and a workout you can run; the full video adds context.
Key points:
- With just over 3 months until his 100-mile ultra, the runner uses a 6-hour “time on feet” session to assess fitness.
- A 3.3-mile loop (around 2 km) is the base for aiming at around 30 miles in one outing.
- Fatigue resistance comes from back-to-back long runs (10-20 mi) and extended 9-10 hour hike-style sessions.
- Training also includes static-bike work during work breaks and steady recovery runs.
Workout:
- Goal: 6 hours on your feet on a 3.3-mile loop.
- Structure: run continuously for up to 6 hours, target around 30 miles (about 9 laps).
- Pace: easy, conversational, no set pace.
- Progression: after the 6-hour session, try 9 laps (around 29.5 mi) in under 6 hours. The video example finished in 5 h 51 m.
Closing note: scale distance or duration to your fitness using the Pacing app.
