This training plan is designed as a 20 week progression culminating in a 100 mile trail run or similar length FKT attempt. Before beginning the plan you should, at a minimum, be running 4 hours a week for at least a month, or 3 hours of running with an additional 2-3 hours of cross training. The plan could also be applied to training for a mountainous 100k or 50 miler and easily adapted to a 50k by a reduction in the overall volume.

This plan does not include coaching, but we do offer consultation calls if you need additional support. We also encourage you to post questions in the free forum, where our coaching staff can answer publicly and help others out too.
