With each year I see more interest in athletes wanting to test their endurance and take the next step up in the racing ranking to try a 50k Ultra.
Last year we saw a growth on the P.A.C.E. scene and out of 50 clinic participants, 15-20 of them landed in the 'ultra' training group. The remainder of the particpants trained in the 15k to 25k training groups.
This year, I have received even more requests for coaching in this distance. In an effort to continue to raise the bar and ensure that people on the PACE scene are receiving the higest quality coaching,support and personable training plans, I have decided to host an Ultra Info Night on Thursday December 1st at 6pm.
This information night is suitable for anyone considering ultra distances 50km to 100mile or stage racing. Planning for an ultra is exciting and there are lots of options! We are going to discuss these optoins and some of the following areas:
1. March, April & May (spring) Ultra race options in our area and surrounding area;
2. Training & coaching options with P.A.C.E. & Endurance Running Coach, Rene Unser;
3. What sort of committments need to be considered before deciding if an ultra is for you;
4. What does a typical training plan for an ultra look like? (please note I do not offer cookie cutter programs. Athletes I coach receive a program that is best suited for their individual needs. Experience, fitness and yearly training goals will be taken into consideration);
5. Assessing your ultra goals and selecting the best race and training avenues for you;
6. Base buliding, endurance, strength, speed and more.
7. Defining strengths and working on your weakness.
