An Overview of My Training for The Hellbender 100-mile Trail Race - Episode 199

Thursday Dec 07, 2023

Thursday Dec 07, 2023

Here's my breakdown or outline of my training plan for the Hellbender 100. I talk about each block, what I'll be focusing on, how much volume, planned races, my why & goals, & the team of people I'm surrounding myself with to help me through race day. At the end I answer a great question submitted by Keith about just how much zone 2 running we should incorporate into our training. Thank you for the question Keith. Keep these questions coming everyone!
