A customized plan to get you to the finish line of CCC and run your best race possible! This plan is also well suited for TDS and other UTMB World Series Races such as Val d'Aran, Trail Verbier, Andora, Eiger, Snowdonia, Canyons, and others.

I am a certified running and ultrarunning coach, and I am an experienced mountain and ultra runner. I have finished UTMB four times (28 hours, 63rd, and top 3 American man), and I have coached dozens of runners to success at CCC, UTMB, OCC, Val d'Aran, and many more.

This Competitive plan is distance-based, starting at 40-45 miles / 65-70km per week. Training volume peaks at ~70 miles (115km) per week. While applicable for many athletes, this plan is ideal for those targeting less than 20 hours with the Intermediate plan being best for those targeting 20+ hours.

The plan also includes customized strength workouts with YouTube videos demonstrating each workout.

This plan includes:
- Daily workout type, mileage, and intensity levels
- Recommended type of terrain and vertical
- Specifics workouts (intervals, hill intervals, tempo runs, strides, etc.) targeted to performing your best at CCC
- Weekly notes on the training intent and goals for that week
- An intermediate race / event / time trial at 13 weeks (with the option to skip this)
- Customized strength workouts demonstrated in YouTube videos

I will also provide a spreadsheet with course notes and recommended splits for each section of the course across a range of finishing times.
