Take the guesswork out of training for your next ultra-distance challenge.

The Embrace Ultra 100km Training Guide is a structured, progressive 26-week training plan designed to help intermediate and experienced runners prepare for the demands of a 100km trail ultra. The guide is also suitable for runners targeting a 50-mile event and looking to take the next step beyond 50km racing.

Built around proven ultra-running principles, the programme focuses on developing aerobic endurance, fatigue resistance, climbing strength and race-specific fitness through progressive long runs, back-to-back training weekends and targeted quality sessions.
