Participating in a 100 km ultra trail requires precise preparation and optimal resource management. This plan is designed to help you approach this distance with confidence, with sessions focused on:
- Basic endurance: training in zone 2 (75-82% of maximum heart rate) strengthens your base endurance, promoting the ability to sustain long efforts while actively recovering.
- Technical ascents and descents: specific uphill and downhill sessions to build muscular endurance and agility, essential for tackling significant elevation changes in ultra trail.
- Mental resilience: long sessions and moderate/high intensity efforts are designed to get you used to the mental and physical demands of an ultra, aiming to manage fatigue and the challenges linked to the distance.
