Thanks, Scott! Really appreciate the quick answer.
Yeah, I definitely have a tendency to get lost in the minutiae ๐
I’m not planning out all 40 weeks now, however. I’m currently just trying to get a grasp which intensities and workouts make sense in which phase and the Z1 and Z2 questions was always on my mind.
I do remember reading that you recommend ME (gym) training in the base phase, right? At least that’s currently my plan. After around 12 weeks of ME work, I’d focus on Z3 intensity the closer I get to the A race (which is an 80K ultra in the mountains) before I’d introduce back-to-back long runs in the specific weeks before the taper starts.
Hope this all makes sense. Thanks again and have a great day!
Stefan
