Between you, Göran Winblad and The Unlazy Way, my amount of motivation to go for a run whenever possible is through the roof! Thanks and good luck keeping up with the Vlog every week, it must be quite a challenge as well.
Finally! Finally! Finally! This is exactly what I wanted to see coming up. BUT WAY FASTER than expected. Amazing job Jeff! I would love to know what you do in the gym. Just a quick screenshot would work for me so you don't have to go into much detail. Especially interested in what you do for Hamstring strength. I tend to get some discomfort in my high hamstring areas during high elevation weeks.
I’m not a runner and def not an ultra runner, I mainly love hiking and strength training but I find ultrarunning so fascinating and love your channel. After watching a couple of videos from different 100mile races etc I was so i terested to see how an athlete trains for this, so thanks so much for sharing. Cant wait to see more! Planning a weekend trip to hike in Chamonix this summer (I live in Switzerland) because I saw so much beautiful scenery when watching content about UTMB🥰
Hey Jeff - just wanted to drop you a note that these training diaries have been of great use to me. I'm a novice runner who loves to hike and these diaries have helped me figure out how to train for long runs that I'd never done before (at 38). Last week I just did my first 2 hours on trail & it felt great! Prior to these diaries I assumed ultra runners were a little crazy and over-trained - I never got the concept of an easy pace until discovering Stephen Seiler and practical stuff like your training diaries.
Excelent Jeff. Thanks so much for sharing so much and useful info with us. Keep going. I'm starting my 16 week training cycle for my 3rd 50k in September! Let's keep going!
Let's do it ! So excited for the nice weather we are getting in the Ottawa region, I just have to remember to go progressively , after 3 months of treadmill
I love to tune in the thought process and how to strategically prepare for events. Found it really inspiring how you focus in doing the work and then trust that it will all come.
this is legitimately fascinating ! i'm constantly trying to learn more about best practices for gaining fitness without risking injury, esp since my partner in crime is a horse who, for obvious reasons, can't always communicate how he feels in as easily understood terms as a person might!
It’s encouraging to hear your plan and approach! Although I’m nowhere near your capability, somehow your calm and clear explanations make me feel what is possible. Thank you 🙏
This is really nformative and great to watch. I have complete faith in my coach, also based in Vancover, but I still love hearing how others do their training. And the video of the trails is wonderful as impatiently wait for spring to arrive.
This is excellent! If you are able, could you throw on the screen the min/mile pace for those of us in the states when you talk min/km? Your content is some of the very best out there. Keep it up!
Hi Jeff, Always enjoy your content. Excited to watch your channel evolve. Would love to see more detail of your gym sessions with your personal trainer.
Excellent video… great to see the workouts you are doing and that you adjust them when fatigue kicks in… Appreciate you sharing your routines to give us an insight into your weekly training plans…
Super interesting Jeff. I follow you on Strava and noticed the change in your training. This now gives it the right context. I will also be doing the UTMB (although only 40k), so I am super interested how your structure your training leading up to that.
I really love all your videos series and will be learning a lot about your training in the few weeks Question: I would love to see your diet/meal plan looks like ? Thanks
Wow, your approach to training is so different than mine - I've now switched to a totally unstructured approach. Yet somehow, we land very close on how it actually looks on a weekly basis, and the performance outcome seems similar. Pretty sure we'd be back and forth all day if our racing schedule ever overlap. Good luck for 2022!
Thank Jeff to share your progress with us. Regarding trainingpeaks you have an amazing TSS sum for the week you quickly displayed. Maybe you could show us if you have an ATP and if you are using these data to adjust your training. If I remember well you are doit most of it on feelings based in the past. Working with a coach have you evaluated your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds?
Looks like another great series to follow. A couple of questions: on the rest day, do you completely take a day off or do you do something like leisurely walks or yoga? I am not sure you have documented your training day meal plans yet however, I like to see/learn what do you eat in a day and meal prep as well.
Great video Jeff - I’m really going to enjoy watching these. I’m wondering if you can talk a bit about how your structure your strength/run workout days. Do you do your run immediately following your strength training? Or do you separate them - morning strength and evening run or visa versa. Do you find the strength training affects the quality of your run particularly if you have a workout (e.g. speed work or hill intervals) planned that same day? Thanks!
Would love to know if during your 3 weeks of work you gotta increase distance and also elevation each saturday. Like some kind of progression. Or if you do always 4 hours…it’d be interesting. Personaly i do prefer to increase each week distance and elevation but that’s my point of view.
Very cool subject Jeff! When you are on a training run, you have the time or distance as a target. What about the altitude difference as a target or does it comes just with your route/distance?
Why is the 90 minute Sunday run considered a back to back/long run and not just an easy run after a long run? I've always done mine the other way, 10-15 miles Saturday then the long run Sunday but had always been under the impression back to backs were referring to days specifically longer than a normal run. Perhaps just semantics.
You're right, at 90 minutes it could simply be considered an easy run, but we'll be increasing this over the coming weeks so I suppose you could call it a placeholder for now. Eventually, it will be a true back-to-back long run.
How do you get 130 TSS with 1:22 of easy running 😮 I get about 62 for an hour of easy running - either based on pace or watt - even less based on heartrate ;)
That's a good question. I don't actually pay much attention to the metrics in TrainingPeaks - I just use it for the scheduling, and then analyze my data in COROS Training Hub and on Strava. It may be calculating some of the data incorrectly from my watch.
@@JeffPelletier The TSS in Trainingpeaks gets calculated on the threshold you set for power or hr or pace. So yes if your Coros now records power and you didnt set the threshold in TP it might be high
@@JeffPelletier Oh awesome! Hopefully we'll have a video series with that one :) The Namibia one was great! Just found your channel recently and have been binging your videos the last few days.
Touché 😂. Eric actually has that 30 minutes as an optional run on Friday and I suspect may eventually change that to a cross-training session as he has in the past. There’s not a lot of benefits in less than 45-60 minutes of running, although I find I feel better with a little consistency otherwise I end up just sitting all day!

„Plan the work
And work the plan”
Good for T-shirt👌🏻
I’m a big fan of double long runs and Mondays off.
I enjoyed seeing your training routine! It makes me want to hit the trails more often!
Sounds like a plan, looking forward to follow along.
You're making some of the best running content on TH-cam right now -- best of luck with your season and this series. Looking forward to it!
Excelent Jeff. Thanks so much for sharing so much and useful info with us. Keep going. I'm starting my 16 week training cycle for my 3rd 50k in September! Let's keep going!
Am super excited about your weekly vlog and UTMB. The mens line up looks awesome!!!
Let's do it ! So excited for the nice weather we are getting in the Ottawa region, I just have to remember to go progressively , after 3 months of treadmill
Hey a cameo ;) Look forward to following along toward UTMB!
I love to tune in the thought process and how to strategically prepare for events. Found it really inspiring how you focus in doing the work and then trust that it will all come.
Yeah! It’s great idea for the series, I’ll follow! 😁💪🙌

Can't wait for this snow to go away you motivated me more and more
Hey cool, you will come to Chamonix!!! Good vides as always.
It’s nice to see videos on ultra training, there’s not much training videos out there
Really excited to see what the plans look like as the weeks draw closer to the races! Amped for this series!
Merci Jeff de partager your journey with us. It will inspire a few of us I'm sure!
It’s encouraging to hear your plan and approach! Although I’m nowhere near your capability, somehow your calm and clear explanations make me feel what is possible. Thank you 🙏

Fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing and being transparent about the approach and changes/adjustments to the original plan. Insightful.
Congratulations on your entry into UTMB!
Pretty nice backyard you got there ! 🤩
Awesome video! I’m really looking forward to this training series!

So cool to share with us. Thx Jeff
Great info. Thanks Jeff. Inspiring and informative. Just what we need,
Excellent choix pour la série de vidéos- donc le premier bloc est en volume ? Quels seront les autres ?

This is such an interesting insight! Thank you! I‘m looking Forward to more Training vlogs. These are going to be so motivating :)
Best of luck this season Jeff!!!
Great routine tips. Looking forward to following along.
How do you have only 43k followers? Your content is amazing, inspirational and could almost be a travel brochure for some of the places you go.
Inspirational stuff
Can’t wait for more insight to your training. 2022 sounds challenging for you but reckon you will blast it!🙌🙌💪🏻💪🏻
thank you for this jeff...i am presently using eric carters and gary robbins 33 week 50/50 training plan.
I really love all your videos series and will be learning a lot about your training in the few weeks
Question: I would love to see your diet/meal plan looks like ?
Thanks
Do you have a stretching routine? Thanks for the detailed training information. Hope all goes well.

Great project! You're so professional in all your video. You're also the first I look! Could you insert a French kind video one in a while? 😉
Merci! Et peut-être 😉
My problem is opposite to yours, I have to drive 100 miles to find some decent hill-work on the trails 😀Where I live, everything is flat
Love this format and content! Will you be adding any cross training (biking/swimming) on your easy days? I either have to do that or 2 full rest days.
Looks like another great series to follow. A couple of questions: on the rest day, do you completely take a day off or do you do something like leisurely walks or yoga? I am not sure you have documented your training day meal plans yet however, I like to see/learn what do you eat in a day and meal prep as well.
Great question! I’ll be sure to address this in next week’s video 👊

Loving this format, do you literally run out of the gym or do you take a rest in between strength and the run?
I’ll be sure to talk about this in the next episode - I’m still trying to get this right.
Interesting how short the tempo run is, and how much volume goes into easy/steady running!
Awesome content! Thanks a lot.
How long is one of these gym sessions you do for strength?
Very cool subject Jeff!
When you are on a training run, you have the time or distance as a target. What about the altitude difference as a target or does it comes just with your route/distance?
Less polished video ? Well, great job !!! Very interesting 🧐
Aren’t you afraid Georgia race might be affected by the Urkraine situation ?
I’ve been paying pretty close attention to the travel advisories from the Canadian government, but I’m planning for the best 🤞
What is your opinion about ultrarunning and working overnights?
Nice 👍
Why is the 90 minute Sunday run considered a back to back/long run and not just an easy run after a long run?

@@JeffPelletier Ah ok I see. Maybe you have set your threshold too low that could be a reason :)
That’s probably it - I’ve never looked at the thresholds for power which is something new for me on a watch.
@@JeffPelletier The TSS in Trainingpeaks gets calculated on the threshold you set for power or hr or pace. So yes if your Coros now records power and you didnt set the threshold in TP it might be high
What is the race you are running in Georgia?
It’s a stage race with Racing the Planet, similar distance and format to what I ran in Namibia with them.
@@JeffPelletier Oh awesome! Hopefully we'll have a video series with that one :) The Namibia one was great! Just found your channel recently and have been binging your videos the last few days.
Thanks! I’ll be producing a similar series from that one, yep.
What are those short runs on your strength days for? Garbage miles? ;)
Touché 😂. Eric actually has that 30 minutes as an optional run on Friday and I suspect may eventually change that to a cross-training session as he has in the past. There’s not a lot of benefits in less than 45-60 minutes of running, although I find I feel better with a little consistency otherwise I end up just sitting all day!
@@JeffPelletier Agree! I think those sessions help keeping you "busy" and motivated over a long period of time.
Are your strength sessions for a certain length of time?
They are one hour sessions.
