Ultramarathon Training Resources

Ultrarunning is where distance running gets weird â€“ it’s less about intensity and results, and more about becoming a crazy endurance monster that can run for hours – nay, days – on end.

Whether you’re looking for a suitable ultramarathon training plan, gear recommendations, or guidance on the best ways to train – we’ve got free resources and guidelines for every ability level.

Once you step into the world of ultramarathons (an ultramarathon is any run longer than 26.2 miles), the rules change.

You’re running for mind-bending, hallucination-inducing distances. Races become more about simply getting to the end rather than worrying about speed or performance.

More and more, ultras are less about one continuous run – but involve crazy challenges like the 4x4x48 challenge.

And it’s addictive. Running ultras is where I found my passion – the feeling of going out and covering epic distances on foot, pushing your personal boundaries is something simply unforgettable.

A great place to start is our free Ultramarathon Training Bootcamp – where I’ll send you essential information about how to train for a marathon over the next few days.

And if you want to really get the most out of your ultramarathon training, check out my Ultra Runner’s Playbook – my extensive online course with hours of exclusive, expert-led video tutorials and downloadables on getting marathon-ready!
