Intro

This is a quick summary of UTMB shakeout run - WOW, what a turnout! from Run4Adventure. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the shake‑out workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

Purpose: A low‑intensity, social shake‑out run to loosen up before the UTMB race weekend.
Route: About 4 miles (≈6.5 km) easy run along the river, then a few loops on a scenic track with a stunning view of Mont Blanc.
Intensity: Keep it nice and steady—no racing or time trials. Use the run to chat, meet other runners, and enjoy the scenery.
Optional Repeats: If you want a tiny bit of speed work, do 8 short repeats on the track (each ~300 m, not a full 400 m). Treat them as easy “mile‑reps” with a short recovery between each.
Social Element: After the run, gather for coffee at Moody’s and share stories.

Workout Example

1. Warm‑up: 0.5 mi easy jog to start.
2. Main set: 4 mi steady run (easy conversational pace).
3. Optional track work: 8 × 300 m repeats at a comfortable effort, with 1‑minute easy jog or walk recovery (keep it light—no time trial pressure).
4. Cool‑down: 0.5 mi easy jog back to the start.
5. Post‑run: coffee & chat at Moody’s (optional but highly recommended!).

*Feel free to adjust distances or repeat numbers to match your fitness level and the Pacing app.

Closing Note

Give this relaxed shake‑out run a try before your next race, and feel free to customise the paces and repeats in the Pacing app to suit you. Have fun, stay safe, and keep on running!
