Your Kosci Weekly Program Will Guide You On How To Build A Strong Race Body... And Remain Injury Free
The Ultra Trail Kosciuszko by UTMB is a stunning event! The epic scenery, trails, and atmosphere make this an event not to be missed.
With four distances to choose from in the Kosci30, Kosci50, Kosci100 or KosciMiler, there’s something for every trail runner, from the first timer to the ultra-enthusiast.
To help you train smart all the way to race day, we have developed two specific training programs, a base plan, and a race plan, for each distance in this epic event.
Runners often enter events, get over-excited, train too hard, get injured, or peak too early. To avoid overdoing it ... or underdoing it, the best way to approach your training is with a Base and Strength Training Plan which will help you to develop endurance and strength, followed by a Kosci Race Specific Training Block where you gradually increase volume, elevation and intensity.
Our Kosci Base Program is 12 weeks long and our Kosci Race-Specific Program is 16 weeks long. Both are specifically designed to help you achieve your Kosci 2024 personal best.

TRAINING IN MOUNT ISA FOR THE UTA IS DIFFICULT. THE TRAINING PLAN GOT ME THERE
Thank you for the awesome program, without it I don’t think I would have been able to cope with what the UTA50 throws at you!! It was hard to mimic some of the sessions in Mount Isa due to the lack of hills but I got there!! I even achieved my goal of under 10hrs with 9hrs and 34min
Kristy Wernowski, UTA 50
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 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.

I SURPRISED MYSELF COMING IN 16TH FEMALE AT UTA PACE22
Thanks Mark so much for your guidance throughout the last three months.
Because of the training, I just ran and enjoyed the scenery and didn’t overthink anything. The bonus was that I surprised myself on my second trail race ever placing 16th female and a time of 2hrs 25mins in the 22 course.
Amanda Marchant, UTA22
