Achieve Your UltraMarathon Dreams with This DIY Training Camp!

This DIY Ultramarathon Training Camp was inspired by the Western States 100 ultramarathon training camp by having identical total mileage of 70+. miles. The difference between the two training camps is that this training camp was held in Rhode Island, where there's minimal elevation, unlike the Western States 100 training camp that's littered with elevation. Another difference is that this is a "DO IT YOURSELF," training camp where anyone who has access to a campsite with a bunch of trails can do it on their own or with friends like I did in this video. This training camp was fairly cheap and the most expensive thing was the food-- and that's because we had steaks, watermelon, Kombuchas, etc...
We had four total runners that participated in this training camp including myself. Brian, Mark, and I were training for the Anchor Down UltraMarathon race within one month of this camp, which is a 24-hour race here in Rhode Island, and Chris was training for the 100k Swiss ALPS that was happening the same weekend as our race.
Overall, the UltraMarathon DIY Training Camp was a Success.

You guys are awesome. Impressive effort, especially with that humidity. And it paid off at ADU! I need to get my act together. I'm six weeks out from my next backyard ultra and haven't run much due to vacation and some minor injuries. You are an inspiration Igor!

You doing Big Bubbas backyard ? Making any videos for that ?
