Aug 13, 2025

Intro: This is a quick summary of Ultramarathon training and upcoming races | 10k race from Flora Beverley. 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:

After the 40 km mountain race (MCC) Flora took a short, easy recovery period (two short, slow runs) before easing back into full training.
Weekly mileage is about 55 km, with one speed or hill session per week, plus long runs and recovery runs.
Coach‑provided speed sessions include hill repeats (e.g., 6×60 s hills with 2 min walk down, 5×45 s, 4×30 s), tempo intervals (8 × 75 s fast/45 s jog + 15 min tempo at ~4:10‑4:15 /km), and short‑interval speed work (3 × 6 min fast with 90 s recovery).
Practical tip: focus on effort rather than exact paces; adjust intensity based on how you feel that day.
Upcoming races: 10 km trail race (Westonbirt), 65 km weekend event in the Lake District, London Marathon, and a 125 km 3‑day race in the Scottish Highlands.
