Its Almost 2024!

So you’ve signed up for an ultra in 2024, when should you start training?

Now!

It’s never too early stop start preparing for races 1,2 even 5 years out. 

Long term planning can lead to success while avoiding burnout and injuries. 

Let’s say you have signed up for 100 miles this summer. Now would be the time to start base building and planning your micro as well as macro cycles and maybe even adding in some B and C races to support your training.

What if your big goal race isn’t until the fall, planning now is still a good idea. If you’ve been racing for several years you may want to plan a short off season so you don’t peak too early. Or if you are coming off of a recovery season, it could be a good time to focus on strength and functional mobility and assess your weaknesses that you put aside while in high volume cycles. 

Just because your race seems so far into 2024 doesn’t mean that you need to wait to focus on building towards it. 

As a coach I often help athletes look ahead not just by months, but by years. While consistency is king, planning ahead is key to making training manageable with life.
