16 Weeks to Get Ready For Your Epic 50km Ultra Trail Race
Whether this is your first time completing a 50km race, or you are a veteran, you need to take a proactive approach to your training, nutrition and body management in order to make it an enjoyable and successful event.
The aim of this 16 week plan is to teach you what to do every week to get your body in the best possible shape for race day.
Runners often enter an ultra, get over-excited, train too hard, get injured or peak too early.
To avoid over doing it ... or under doing it, the best way to approach your training is with a specific training plan that will help you to develop endurance and strength, and gradually increase volume, elevation and intensity, so you peak at the right time for your 50km event.
In 16 weeks from now, the goel of the program is to help you feel strong and prepared. Ready to really enjoy your 50km trail event.
To give you an idea of where to start, the beginner plan kicks off with a weekly volume of approx 35km (longest run week 1 is 15km), the advanced plan starts with a total weekly volume of 63km (longest trail run week 1 is 19km).
If these volumes sound too high for your current level of fitness, you may be better off starting with the 21km trail plan. Don't over do it and end up injured!

Thanks Mark for the training program; I’ve done a bit of trail running around my Cairns home, but nothing remotely like this kind of distance. Although I thought I would feel daunted by the ‘unchartered waters’ as a result of the program I just felt so well prepared (physically and mentally) that I felt confident, ready for anything. I finished in 7 hrs 20 - about an hour under what I thought I might manage. Thanks Mark and all of you lovely group members.

I AM NOW BETTER EDUCATED ON MY TRAINING, NUTRITION AND PERFORMANCE
With Mark’s coaching, plus his strength and conditioning classes, and network of expert professionals, I am now better conditioned and stronger than ever. I continue to knock significant times over my PB’s and increasing my distances. In started with the 50km plan and enjoyed it so much I didn't look back. In 2019, I completed GOW100 and UTA100. I now am better educated about my training, nutrition, heart rates and performance as well as hydration needs and sodium loss rates.

Hi Mark, I started your base program in September last year and then followed the beginner UTA 50 program.
I was really concerned about tackling hills and steps with my Achilles tendinitis ( from previous run). Your strength program and 3 min daily stretches were just what I needed. I was successful in completing the 50 kms without any injuries. I’m signing up for a year so I can decide which run I’m tackling next. Thank you!!
