100 miles
Sixteen weeks is the short version of a 100
A 100 mile plan here is 16 to 24 weeks. The taper is three weeks, not one. Peak long runs are about six and a half hours on your feet. That is still shorter than the race, on purpose.
Back-to-backs and the dark
If you can run long on Saturday and again on Sunday, those days show up in the build and the peak. The Sunday run is about two thirds of Saturday. If the race will go through the night, one easy run each of those weeks is a night run with the lamp and the shoes you will race in.
A 30 hour clock
Eight sections share the miles and the climbing. Later sections are slower. The buffer is a 30 hour cutoff minus that estimate. A negative buffer means the numbers you entered do not fit that clock. Crew notes say not to send a pacer before halfway. The drop bag, including a second pair of shoes, is listed beside the pack list.
What you get
The overview and week 1 are free. $24 unlocks the other weeks. Western States is one 100 mile race you can type in. The form does not assume its course unless you enter the gain.
Build a 100 mile previewUltraPlan is a general trail schedule, not medical advice and not a substitute for a coach or a physician. Stop for chest pain, dizziness, or pain that changes your stride. Cutoffs, aid, and crew notes are planning numbers, not a promise the race will hold that clock.
