So you want to run an Ultramarathon. It all looks a very long way, doesn't it? It can't be good for you, it can't be fun and surely you have to be some kind of super-athlete to be able to run that far? This book shows that it is a very long way, that it can be good for you, and that you most certainly don't have to be super-human to finish one. It also goes further by inspiring you to get started and by guiding you each step of the way. So, whether you're just curious to know more about this fast-growing global sport or searching for the right answers to your own ultra-running breakthrough, this book will prove as valuable as your favourite running shoes. Includes advice on making the transition from marathon or triathlon; strategies for winning the mental battle; keeping your feet intact; maintaining the right fuel intake; how to build strength and endurance and, finally, how to deal with running in the dark.Andy Mouncey writes from the heart, combining great insight and knowledge with a knack for making the complicated seem simple. Throw in a healthy dose of dry humour and case-study contributions from real people at various stages of their ultra-running journey and you have a book that redefines the 'How To' style of sports training guide. Illustrated with 93 colour photographs.

This book has a single purpose - to inspire you to run! Through sharing a detailed account of my first three years of pursuing running from the middle to back of the pack, it will hopefully show you you are capable of much more than you may think. After my father almost died of a heart attack, it was time for me to change everything. Little did I know how much I would learn after taking on some physical exercise. It's not clear to me why I chose running ultra marathons of all forms of exercise, since I was unable to run beyond one mile just a few years prior. But since that fateful day, I've never looked back.

When elite ultrarunners have a need for speed, they turn to coach Jason Koop. Now the sport’s leading coach makes his highly effective ultramarathon training methods available to ultrarunners of all abilities in his book Training Essentials for Ultrarunning. Ultramarathoners have traditionally piled on the miles or tried an approach that worked for a friend. Yet ultramarathons are not just longer marathons; simply running more will not prepare you for the race experience you want. Ultramarathon requires a new and specific approach to training. Training Essentials for Ultrarunning will revolutionize training for those who want to race an ultramarathon instead of just gutting it out to the finish line. Koop's race-proven ultramarathon program is based on sound science, the most current research, and years of experience coaching the sport’s star runners to podium performances. Packed with practical advice and vetted training methods, Training Essentials for Ultrarunning is the new, must-have resource for first-timers and ultramarathon veterans. Runners using Training Essentials for Ultrarunning will gain much more than Koop’s training approach: · The science behind ultramarathon performance. · Common ultramarathon failure points and how to solve them. · How to use interval training to focus workouts, make gains, reduce injuries, and race faster. · Simple, effective fueling and hydration strategies. · Koop’s A.D.A.P.T. method for making the right decisions to solve a race-day crisis. · How to plan your ultra season for better racing. · Course-by-course coaching guides to iconic U.S. ultramarathons including American River 50, Badwater 135, Hardrock 100, Javelina 100, JFK 50, Lake Sonoma 50, Leadville 100, Vermont 100, Wasatch 100, and Western States 100. · How to achieve your goal, whether it’s finishing or winning. A revolution is coming to ultrarunning as ultramarathoners shed old habits and embrace the smarter methods that science and experience show are better. Featuring stories and advice from ultrarunning stars Dakota Jones, Kaci Lickteig, Dylan Bowman, Timothy Olson, and others who work with Koop, Training Essentials for Ultrarunning is the go-to guide for first-time ultrarunners and competitive ultramarathoners.

Why do so many runners who start an ultramarathon not finish? How can you give yourself the best chance of finishing a 50 or 100 mile race? Do you really need to run 50-100 mile weeks to finish an ultramarathon? The Minimalist's Guide to Running an Ultramarathon answers these questions and gives you the blueprint you need to finish your ultramarathon. It dispels the myth that you need to run lots of miles to finish an ultramarathon. Understanding that every runner has different abilities and goals, this book does not provide a "one size fits all" training program. It gives you key principles and guidelines that will allow you to create the best training program that meets your needs. Regardless of whether you are a seasoned ultrarunner looking for more tools to improve your performance or are new to the sport and want to know the minimum amount of training needed to finish an ultramarathon, this book will give you the framework for the optimal training program. It follows the 80/20 principle and focuses on the most efficient training program to minimize your training time while providing maximum benefit. The optimal training program for running an ultramarathon includes much more than just running. If you ask anyone who has completed an ultramarathon, many will tell you much of the race is mental. Research continues to show how important strength training is to running performance and injury prevention. Additionally, your running form or technique can be a key factor in determining whether or not you finish your ultra. This book has all the key training variables you need to consider when training for an ultramarathon. In addition to how to create a basic running program, this book goes in depth with tools to improve your running technique. It also includes key strengthening and mobility exercises that will make you a stronger, more resilient runner. Dr. Gebhardt recognizes mental training is one of the most important things to include in your ultramarathon training plan. He gives you specific steps to train your mental toughness that go far beyond just telling you to "push through it and keep moving".This book will also help you understand why so many runners get injured and how you can become a stronger runner. Becoming a stronger runner doesn't mean you need to spend several hours per week in the gym. The Minimalist's Guide to Running an Ultramarathon provides the foundation for any training program because it gives you the minimal amount of training needed to complete your ultra by giving you the training concepts that will give you the most benefit. You can tailor the principles learned in this book to fit with any ultramarathon training program. Dr. Gebhardt also helps you understand the importance of an "off-season" and why you must commit to strength training during this time if you want to have a successful running season. This book also includes access to videos of specific exercises that will make you a stronger runner and reduce your risk of injury and access to videos of simple drills that will improve your running technique.About the author: Dr. Terry Gebhardt is a physical therapist, running coach, and ultramarathon runner who is passionate about keeping runners physically and mentally strong and injury-proofing their bodies so you can "run strong" through middle age and beyond. He believes any runner can run forever with the right training program. Having the experience of completing several ultramarathons and being both a physical therapist and running coach makes him uniquely qualified to give you all the tools you need to finish your ultramarathon!
