Plan Description
This is a 20-week training plan to prepare you for your first time running 50 miles. The plan accounts for a moderately hilly and/or technical course. Prior to starting the plan, you should be able to run 90 minutes in a single duration, with a weekly run volume of ~3 hours.
The plan uses a mix of heart rate and RPE to help you dial in targets. Due to the unique nature of trails, pace targets are not particularly helpful. All runs are planned using time, keeping in mind that our bodies adapt to duration x intensity (which is at the heart of TSS - training stress score). Some of the earlier speed-focused runs include some pace suggestions.
To ensure you are working at a proper intensity, this plan includes sessions to help you set your HR zones.
