I’m turning 40 next year and would like to complete an ultra. I’ve a full marathon years ago, but have settled on half’s due to training time constraints with a busy life. Next year I’m prioritizing me and would like to attempt an ultra.
How helpful would a running coach be? I typically do a few runs a week and throw in a few weight lifting sessions. Where is a good place to find a coach, and what can generally be expected when working with one? Should I focus on increasing muscle strength before adding distance? What have been your experience out there??
