Training Focus and Structure

The training block emphasized two key areas: short intervals targeting VO2 max and structured long runs. It involved a complement of three long runs throughout the block, with a focus on both general fitness and ultra-specific training needed for the upcoming 100-mile race. The structured approach allowed for variations where long runs included quality work, like fast finishes to boost endurance and speed. This combination aimed to build overall performance, accommodating both the immediate training goals and the specific demands of the target race.
