Monday - 8x800 track intervals 90 second rests (will shorten the rest time gradually) Tuesday - 1 hour easy run Wednesday - 1 hour easy run (4-5 strides at end) Thursday - Rest Friday - tempo 10k (45-50 min) Saturday - 90 minute easy long run Sunday - rest I’m on week 3 doing this training. It’s about 30 miles a week. Did a 5k this week 21:58. Hopefully I can get a sub 20 before end of year. 48 year old male. Personal best 20:10 in 2019

I do have a suggestion to easily get the calories you need and if you absolutely cant eat another bite of food drink olive oil.Highest steps i ever walked in one day was 39,000 steps.My average was 20,000-25,000 a day.Had no intention of doing it and at the time i was having trouble staying asleep at the time and would wake up around 1 am -3 am and would go for a walk.I was eating at that time around 5000 calories and some days i just couldn’t eat anymore so olive oil was a good way to get calories i needed without feeling stuffed
@runningcafe1 16 күн бұрын
That sounds gross but if you can stomach olive oil and need the calories then why not, whatever works! May have to give it a try...

It depends on what time you want to get, your training, race day nutrition etc. If you are happy with a 1h 55m finish but you want to get faster perhaps try training more and mixing up the training runs e.g., hill sprints, more elevation, intervals, tempo runs

Did you not have a gps route planned on strava, Komoot etc or a compass for Scarfell Pike ?. Its fairly easy with a compass, you just take note of the bearing once walking towards the trig and then reverse the bearing and follow that bearing back the opposite way. Either that or Komoot, Strava etc has an arrow in which direction you are walking, you just point the arrow in the direction of the planned route and walk towards it.

All things that I wish I knew and thought of at the time. Since this video, I've learnt a lot about navigation including compass skills and I now know there are many apps to help. I was just grateful to have made it out in one piece and able to learn my lesson. I hope this video helps others to understand the risks and to take mountains more seriously than I did.

Well done mate, it was a really fun day and the weather was great. The long grassy section has got to be one of the dodgiest parts of an ultra I've done before. No idea if I was going to slip to the left or right at a moments notice, and I actually tripped over in a hole at one point and face planted. All part of the fun. Good luck for your future ultras.

Nice vid! I am a triathlete so get a lot of fitness from biking and swimming. For people like me, that do other endurance sports concurrently, I recommend focusing on quality runs and not junk miles. A couple of runs, either interval or tempo, with a slightly longer run later in the week, will do the trick. This is because the main limiter, in my case, is not my engine, but rather my leg strength. Another thing I thought I would mention is flexibility and range of motion in hip flexors etc. This is massive in elite runners and something that makes a huge difference in performance. Just look at the stride length and ease of Mo Farah or any other pro.

Thank you. The car parks can be busy. Fortunately, there's lots of space at the Llanberris village for Snowdon and I've never struggled to find one. However, I'd recommend getting to Scafell Pike early just in case. Never struggled to find a space at the Ben Nevis visitor centre either. If you do them on weekdays, it's highly likely you'll have a better chance at getting a spot if you go a bit later in the day. Good luck

In hindsight... The use of a mobile phone application like All Trails or OS Maps, an actual map and compass (possibly not the best for at night though), downloading the route onto a GPS watch and following it, following the marked path more diligently (hard in some sections). Lots of lessons learnt the hard way

@runningcafe1 I asked this before attempting three peaks with my 9 year old( over three days). I use OS maps and had horrendous storms at the top of scafell and Snowdon. OS app helped me find my way off scafell when i couldn't see far. Climbing scafell in a storm at night is nuts mate.
