Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I came to running in my mid 40s, already quite fit doing a manual job, but with a young family and critically ill wife.

I agree Melbas, as long as I can gradually increase the length of my Sunday morning long run through the Spring I know I'll be fine for my big race.

Sounds like you have a hell of a lot to deal with. I am glad running is helping. Best of luck with your training and race.

Thanks. It's been a tough 5 years but things are better now, and it's made me and my wife much tougher and better people. I love ultra running but I still have family, work and community responsibilities that limit the time and energy I can devote to it. I'm interested in how other runners who want to run 100+ miles maximise their limited training time or build mental and physical resilience on a daily basis through micro training.

Got something to say?

Hi everyone, I'm a very low weekly mileage ultra runner. Last year I averaged 10-15 miles a week in training and ran the 47 mile Windermere Lap. This year I'm doing the 111 mile Warwickshire Canal Ring. I'm doing about 10 miles a week at the moment, and hope to get up to 20 before the big day.
You probably won't be surprised to hear that I've never found a training plan that comes remotely near to suiting my lifestyle, but I'd love to hear from any other runners wh...
