Is this you?
- You've decided to run your first ultra but have no clue where to start and you aren't ready to invest in a coach.
- You feel like you have no clue how to properly fuel yourself for your long runs, much less a race.
- You've run a few ultras & you're tired of using free training plans you found online or in a book only to end up injured or DNF.
- You're not sure where to begin when it comes to strength training & how to incorporate that into your program.
- You're tired of spending hours on Google to answer your ultra questions only to end up more confused & overwhelmed.
- You're overwhelmed when it comes to planning for your race, picking a crew and pacer(s), packing a drop bag, etc.
Imagine if….
- You had your training program all laid out for you and all you had to do was execute it.
- You were finally able to properly incorporate strength training into your running program.
- You had all the resources you need to guide you in training and preparing for an ultra all in one place and you didn't have to go searching for it.
- You could arrive to the starting line feeling prepared, strong, & confident in the work you put in during your training cycle.

Relentless Training Programs
Everything you need to train for a 50k, 50 mile, 100k, or 100 mile race!
faq
You will need two sets of dumbbells – one fairly light, and one heavier. You will also need mini bands for strengthening your accessory muscles that, as runners, you use frequently.
This program looks at the runner as a whole. Which involves strength training is a major piece of that puzzle. I want you to be able to run for years to come, not just complete one race and be done. To get the maximum results from this program, you will need to perform all workouts as directed.
For the 50K training program, it is assumed that you are already running on a consistent basis for 6-8 weeks before beginning this program for the 50K program. You should have a base endurance of approximately 20 miles per week and long run of at least 10-12 miles.
This is entirely dependent on your goal – whether you’re using the 50K program or the 100 miler program. In general, weekly workouts are 45-75 min. This may increase or decrease depending on your program and where you’re at in your training cycle.
For the 50K program, your longest run will consist of 26 miles.
For the 50 miler program, your longest run will be a 50K, 3 weeks out from race day.
Just as my coaching philosophy includes strength training, it also includes cross training. I am not of the mindset that you need to “run all the miles” to complete an ultra. Supplementing your program with cross training allows you to have gains in your aerobic engine while avoiding negatively impacting your running musculoskeletal system. This will protect you from injury and help you to avoid burnout.
Depending on the training plan this may vary.
The 50K training plan is 24 weeks, 6 months. You will need to ensure you already have a base endurance of approximately 20 miles per week and long run of 10 miles.
Yes, I understand that life happens – injuries, family stuff, whatever. As with the nature of ultras, signup for races is usually far ahead in the future. A lot can change between sign up and the actual race. Just send me an email and we will cancel your training plan.
