Why does it feel sooo good to run on trails? ⛰️

Because all of us want to bring back that amazing wild and free feeling from childhood 🌳🍃

And they thought it was supposed to be about running? Shoutout to everyone who uses “entering an ultra” to go do epic missions in beautiful places 🏔️

😂 How many times do you ask yourself WHY during your training plan!?
 
The biggest training mindset shift: train where you’re at and build slowly from there. 🤓

Don’t skip to the final page, or start thinking about that big scary session. Focus on the week infront of you.

You are TRAINING. Trust the process and your coach, you’ll get there. 🏅🫶

If you can run a 21km without stopping, you can run an ultra 👀🏃🏻‍♂️

I know this sounds completely mental but honestly it’s true - the gap between a half marathon and a 50km ultra is smaller than you think. I stepped up from completing a half marathon to finishing a 50km ultra marathon in 3 months and i’m not special.

1️⃣ The difference isn’t physical ability, it’s training adaptation.

If you can run 21km non-stop, you’ve already proven you can stick to a training plan and have probably started experimenting with some nutrition and hydration during your training. Your lungs work, your legs know how to run, everything else is consistently building on that foundation.

2️⃣ Ultra Marathon training is just progressive overload over 12-16 weeks.

Week 1 you might run 4 times for 30km total. By week 10 you’re running 5-6 times for 70km total with a 30-40km long run. The reality is, each week only adds a little more intensity or duration.

3️⃣ You don’t need to be fast, you just need to be consistent.

An 8-10 hour ultra marathon is still an ultra marathon. The truth is most people can walk-run an ultra marathon with proper training regardless of their current pace. Simple mantra’s like walk the ups, jog the downs can be game changers. You might feel slow to start but by the end your consistency compounds.

4️⃣ The long run builds up slower than you think.

You don’t jump from 10k to 30k overnight. Week 1 long run might be 10km. Week 4 it’s 20km. Week 8 it’s 10km on a Saturday and 20km on a Sunday. Your body will have months to adapt to learning how to “run on tired legs”.

Be consistent!

This progress took me around 12 months of CONSISTENT training. It was an absolute rollercoaster if i’m honest. After an ankle injury and DNF, strength training 2x per week became a massive unlock and a non-negotiable to enable my legs to tolerate load. I’d usually wing every run and not worry about heart rate but forcing myself to do Zone 2 power hiking delt a blow to my ego but at the same time levelled up my cellular capacity massively. Set your watch alarm to the top of your Z2 and when it beeps simply slow up and get your breathing undercontrol whilst still moving.
 
Get your fueling dialled!

Your strength and willpower only gets you so far when you start going beyond 2 hours for a long run. Learn to fuel at 60-90g of carbs per hour. And keep practicing in your training. It took me 2 years to go from solids and some gels to being able to consistently tolerate gel/carb mix for hours on end. Don’t forget to nail your electrolytes, 6-800mg of sodium per liter is adequate for 90% of runners (if you still cramp at these rates, you might be a high salt sweater, get a sweat test). Gastrointestinal issues is the second highest reason why people DNF events, be patient, train like you race.
 
Above all, progress takes time and the lessons along the way are different for everyone. Don’t compare your progress to anyone else and enjoy your journey to the top of your own mountain.

8 non-negotiable strength movement’s to build ultra marathon legs.

These are the exercises that are in my rotation while training for 50km to 100milers:

🔹 Bulgarian Split Squats – 3 x 15/leg
🔹 Box Step Ups + Knee Drive – 3 x 12/leg bar on back
🔹 Jefferson Curl Extension – 3 x 8
🔹 Glute Bridges – 3 x 10/leg
🔹 RDL Kettlebell Pass – 3 x 8/leg
🔹 Walking Lunges w Zircher Bar Twist – 3 x 10/leg
🔹 Tibialis Raises – 3 x 20
🔹 Single Leg Calf Raises Bent Knee (Soleus) – 3 x 12

It’s about being bulletproof when the mileage stacks.

The flag is planted. ☠️🚩

Somewhere high above a coastal region in Australia, sits a flag which unlocks a 4-week supply of Rest & Rise + a money-can’t-buy tee.

It’s waiting to be claimed. The flag scorers record still stands at 1hr 27mins.

First person to summit, grab the flag, and send us a photo wins it all.

No clues. No map. Just legs and a bit of grit.

Know someone who’d find it in under an hour?👇
