At RUNNEA our coaches have a maxim: individualized and weekly training sessions. As no 2 people are the same, no 2 plans are the same. Preparing for an ultra trail or long distance race requires even more commitment.

In this case, we bring you a weekly example of a training plan to complete a 30-kilometer trail race.

We only describe the exercises. But, if you train with us you will have access to the paces, heart rate at which you will have to train, elevation gain you will have to tackle, strength exercises, stretching and complete description of each routine. You will also be able to watch videos with descriptions of each exercise or stretching.

It was 31 kilometers and 1,500 meters of elevation gain. 31 reasons why it was worth it. And 1,500 reasons why not to leave it there.
