My 2011 Leadville 100-mile Ultramarathon Training Plan
For what it is worth, I have revised my training plan for the Leadville 100 ultramarathon based on feedback and questions I have received over the past year or so from a previous post on this blog. As I stated then, several friends had asked about how I trained for the race. Thus, I have posted my training plan here if you care to take a look.

Even more cross-training than I thought! This brings back good memories.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does, Gancho. Many, if not most, of those hill workouts were with you :-)
DeleteThanks for posting the plan Phil, I am looking at making Leadville my first 100M. My main concern is that I want to do a 24 hour ultra race 3 weeks before. In your opinion would that be too close? At that point was your base 50-60/week? How long were your longest runs at that point?
ReplyDeleteHi Greg! I topped out at 80 miles 4 weeks before the race and started my taper the next/3rd week with a 25% reduction. Personally, I think a 24-hour ultra race in the 3rd week would definitely negatively impact your performance at Leadville. My longest runs during the 18-week training process were 50 milers. Thanks for asking!
DeletePhil,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to put this together. It is nice to have a reference. This will be my second leadville and plan on finishing this time
The best of luck to you, my friend! Let me know how it goes.
