You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: littlemeatchunks Subject: RE: Ultramarathon training Body: like marathon training, but with longer long runs every other week or so. still have to do quality work: 10-12mi marathon pace runs, shorter lactate threshold work, strides, 5k-10k pace training on the track, etc.- so you don't just have that one gear. long runs tend to be more race specific- if the course has a lot of climbing, spend a lot of time running up and down mountains. i love training for ultras for a part of the year, if for no other reason than it gives me an excuse to go on epic runs on trails i neer otherwise get to run, and in part just because of where i live-in the mountains. if i was just training for road marathons i would have no reason to go for 4-5 hour trail runs every couple weeks. and if i lived somewhere flat with few interesting trails, i would probably have very little interest in just running the same neighborhood roads. but no matter what the distance, running more, as long as that's not all you're doing (i.e.-keep the quality work) will only make you better. usually.
