Hey Evoke,

I am a newer runner and am just starting the ’20 wk First Ultra’ plan. I’m keen to run a trail race in early November this year, which is during week 14 of the plan. Due to my inexperience with ultra running, I was planning to do a 25K/2300′ option instead of a 50K/5000′ (which seems a bit rushed for me, training-wise). I mostly just want to feel good on the race, not ‘race it’, and use it as a concrete goal for training motivation.

My question is, can/should I shorten the plan to prepare for the 25K? I’m thinking I could just use the 25K race as week 14’s ‘3hr aerobic hill run’ and carry on with the plan as normal. I’m wondering how I should alter the plan if I end up racing a bit above AeT though?

Thank you!!
