I will be using this blog to schedule group runs, seminars, and workouts for all my athletes and other people interested in doing the ultra. I will also be using this blog to document my training for the 2010 Vermont 100 Mile Ultramarathon. For official articles, please visit my other blog at http://coachjoegold.blogspot.com.

T-203 Days to VT - 15 mile Survival Run

December 15:

Run - 15 miles on hilly Ocean Breeze Course - Total Time: 2:24:44

The ultra-style run is one of the keys to ultra training success and I will use it on most runs over 10 miles in length. The ultra-style incorporates intervals of 8 minutes of running with 2 minutes of walking. The 2 minute recovery period is so critical in running long without wearing myself out that I have run 3 weeks of 100 miles in training last year with a quick recovery afterward.

I'll talk more about the ultra-style in great length as the training wears on.
