For a 50k I like to get my longest run in 4 weeks before the race. This way if I need to adjust any nutrition or gear changes I have time to try something the following week before tapering
Appreciate the feedback and taking the time to leave comment. It’s Obvious you watched and took the time to leave a comment, if you, yourself don’t ask these “questions” what’s the point?
Mate, too much self advertising. Real vid starts around minute 3. Useful info from there, but tbh 35km seems a little short for longest pre-race run; I've just done a slow 30km but definitely not yet ready for a 50km. Am gonna do a 43km one, then try for a 60km one.
Appreciate the feedback. As for the distance (remember time not miles) has worked for myself and plenty of my athletes and is backed by plenty of studies on athletes to get full potential. One of if not the only reason people do longer runs is to build confidence. Prior to my first 50k the longest trail run I did was 15miles…. And I finished the 50k feeling better than any marathon I’ve ever ran.
Super good info, also short and sweet. 😊 Love the concept of training for time over distance, it makes total sense. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Glad you got something out of it. Happy running!
Great info! I love the idea of focusing on hours instead of miles. How long before the race should I do my longest training run?

When you ask such Questions
you never make it anywhere in anything
