Ultra Training on a Tight Schedule: Simple Tips for Busy Runners

Unlock the secrets of balancing a thriving ultra-running career with the demands of everyday life. Join me, Richard Gleave, as I reveal 4 essential tips and strategies designed for non-elite runners who are determined to conquer ultramarathons without sacrificing family or work commitments. Discover how the 80-20 rule can transform your training regimen, emphasizing easy, conversational runs that form the foundation of endurance, while leaving room for the more intense workouts that build speed and strength.

Dive into the concept of "time on feet" for long runs, a lifesaver for those with packed schedules. Learn how focusing on the duration and fatigue of your runs rather than the mileage can lead to more effective preparation for ultra-distance races. With personal anecdotes and real-life examples, including my journey towards the Swammie Shuffle 200 and Cocodona 250, this episode offers inspiration and practical advice. Whether you're training for your first 50k or tackling a 200-miler, uncover ways to make your ultramarathon dreams a reality, even amidst the chaos of everyday life.
