I used this plan for my 2024 Javelina Jundred 100k race and completed the race! I felt really well prepared, but not overtrained. I didn't feel like I was dying during the plan's long runs, and was able to recover quickly after each one to start fresh each week. I felt like it was easy to move days around to fit my schedule too, which is helpful! I'm a back-of-the-middle-of-the-pack runner and this worked for me!
I haven't 'Officially' started the training plan as yet as my first Ultra Marathon is in July, but my partner and I are following certain aspects of the plan and strength circuits to up our fitness level and prepare us for week 1 of the plan.
We have been following Ben and Sarah on Youtube and they have really inspired us to get running again and after doing several half marathons in the past we thought jumping straight to an Ultra Marathon would be a good idea. I know following Ben and Sarah's training plan will get us over the finish line!
I used this plan to complete my first 50k ultra. It prepared me well and even though my race didn’t go to plan it was from the preparation that the plan gave me. This is the second of Ben’s plans I’ve used and would use again.
Currently half way through level 2. I purchased lvl 1 realised I need to level up, as my pal is also doing the ultra he purchased lvl 2 and it is great love the variety or runs and it’s keeping me focused. Would definitely recommend.
I'm really enjoying the 50k plan. It's ramping up nicely, and makes the distance feel very achievable even with my hectic schedule. Saves me time and energy that I don't have to be my own coach. Just have to make some modifications for my schedule.
50k Ultra Plan - L1
Amazing training plan. Smashed my first Ultra. It was a 60km race with 5500m EG with cut-off of 20 hours. I didn't get to the end but I made it to the last aid station at 51km and 5030 EG. Incredibly proud of myself. Thanks so much Ben and Sarah!! Note to myself - DO NOT SKIP STRENGTH TRAINING
I'm really love this training plan. This year, I will be running my first 50k, and this plan has really helped a newbie like me to this distance. Thanknyou for helping make this 50k possible.
As a keen gym avoider, I'm loving the 20 minute at home strength training routines. I've found that they are definitely making a difference to my running. The plan is super simple to follow and I like how the weeks are all structured slightly differently. Hoping to smash my 50km in July. Thank you Ben and Sarah 👍🏻
60 years old…building a base from 10k and hoping to smash the 50k Tames path in Sept. It’s all in my diary and ready to go.
