If you’re not quite there with your weekly mileage, that’s okay! We suggest focusing on your base building mileage. You will be doing long miles almost every weekend to prepare both physically and mentally for your goal race. Our 50 Mile Ultramarathon running plan starts at 32 miles in the first week and builds weekly mileage from there. You should be able to comfortably run at least 35-40 miles per week for 3 to 4 weeks in a row.

An individual new to running could complete a 50 Mile ultramarathon, but remember this race distance takes months to build endurance. Running Club and Running Stickers for the Endurance Enthusiastsīefore you take on a 50 Mile training plan and race, runners should have a few years of experience with consistent running and racing at least at the marathon or 50k distance.
