The course profiles of ultramarathons are not directly addressed in our running plans. Precisely what you do will depend largely on your level of running experience and running goals. We layout the distances you should be running and give you a general outline of what you should be doing. You may find that you need to work in shorter or longer training cycles, and we address that in our “Modifying the Running Plan” section in this 50 Mile training guide. Three weeks hard followed by a recovery week provide physical and mental adaptation to training stresses for a 50 Mile race. We use training cycles of three weeks hard, one week easy to allow for recovery and help prevent overuse injuries or burnout. Our 50 Mile Ultramarathon training plan is 24-weeks in duration and focuses primarily on helping you get to the finish line of your race. You may also use one of our marathon training plans or the 50k training plan to help you train up to the 50-mile ultra-distance. If you’re not quite there with your weekly mileage, that’s okay! We suggest focusing on your base building mileage. You will be doing long miles almost every weekend to prepare both physically and mentally for your goal race. Our 50 Mile Ultramarathon running plan starts at 32 miles in the first week and builds weekly mileage from there. You should be able to comfortably run at least 35-40 miles per week for 3 to 4 weeks in a row. So it is in our best recommendation to be a bit more experienced as a runner. We want to help you prepare for a 50 Mile Ultramarathon while reducing the chance of overuse injuries or burnout. An individual new to running could complete a 50 Mile ultramarathon, but remember this race distance takes months to build endurance. Running Club and Running Stickers for the Endurance Enthusiastsīefore you take on a 50 Mile training plan and race, runners should have a few years of experience with consistent running and racing at least at the marathon or 50k distance.
