Follow Mark on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/runlongafter60/ - Building a nutrition and hydration plan for an ultramarathon is just as important as building your weekly mileage. From figuring out what works for your body to learning how to fuel through hours on the trails, having a plan can make a huge difference in how you perform and feel on race day.
Fueling isn't something you should be figuring out at mile 40. It's a skill that needs to be practiced, adjusted, and refined just like your running.
In this episode, we explore:
How to start building your nutrition and hydration plan during training
What to practice on long runs before race day
How to figure out what your body needs over long distances
Why consistency matters more than waiting until you're hungry or thirsty
How to fine-tune your strategy so you arrive at race day prepared

26/10/2026 | 1 h 7 minWant to get faster at ultrarunning? You might actually need to start running REALLY fast in training (even if your race pace is slow).

In this episode, you'll learn:
Why only running easy miles can hold back your fitness gains.
The science behind VO2 max and why fast intervals make you a better ultrarunner.
How to safely introduce speed work into your training.
Specific VO2 max workouts, including interval lengths, intensity, and recovery times.
