This episode might just be the one that you have been waiting for.

After a short update on what I have been doing in my training for Lakeland 100 (basically lots of miles and hills) I cover:

1. Planning and preparation - what you need to think about and how to choose the right race for you
2. Structure of a training plan - some of the principles that will work and thinking long term
3. Types of workouts and why you should do them - if you don't know about VO2max and tempo then this section is for you
4. Training blocks and piecing the jigsaw together - now you know all about the principles this section tells you how to piece it all together in a way that you will be able to (probably) achieve your ultrarunning goal.

there should be something in there for everyone whether you want to do it yourself or get a coach to help you.

If you are looking for a coach then this can also help ask the right questions when you are speaking with them about what you need.
