My First Training Plan
Running your first 50 km, 50 mile, or 100 mile ultra? These single purchase plans are for you.
You’ve signed up for your first ultra. Now what?
Our “My First Training Plan” is designed to take you to the finish of the race. These plans are ideal for an athlete who has been running intermittently and has completed one or two shorter distance trail races or even a road half-marathon.
If you’ve got bigger aspirations than just comfortably finishing a race, or your schedule is too complicated for a non-specific training plan, check out our custom training plan option.
