Program details: welcome to the 50k ultra plan! Time to get ready to cross the finish line of one of your most memorable races yet. This program offers a holistic balance between running, strength training, and mobility to get you through training strong, and injury-free. The running workouts in this plan vary between endurance, speed work, hill repeats, and active recovery workouts. Be sure to check out the schedule and pacing recommendations on day 1. It's important to note that this is going to be a challenging training block, and not every week if going to feel great, but consistency is what matters most. If you miss a few workouts, that's okay, try not to strive for perfection, just stay committed to the process. I would recommend having prior experience in at least a few half marathons, if not a full marathon, before starting this plan. There are no exact pace recommendations for this training plan; all the workouts are based on distance and effort, so do them at your own pace!

Equipment:

Kettlebell (25- 44lbs), optional dumbbells if you don't have a kettlebell, mini resistance bands (purchase HERE), a box or bench, a barbell with weights (can use dumbbells to modify), a foam roller, and a mat.
