It really depends on the race, but I would say most of the time just a few days prior. How long is your taper before A Trail race? I am always trying to get in climbing no matter what (living in the place that I do) - so at least four to five days a week. Harder, long efforts usually happen once or twice a week or sometimes more if I am really loving the area I am training in. I would say I do some kind of speed or intervals at least three to four times a week even if it’s strides after a run or intervals in the middle of a longer run. Luckily for me most of the time what I find fun and exciting is pushing paces in the run but also finding new and unique places to run - it’s so exciting creating routes and exploring! What is the ratio of interval workouts, speed training, long efforts and climbing during your training week? Overall I feel my training is a bit more based on what I find fun and exciting. Other than that, I feel like my longest day usually looks like just over 20 miles with a double included. If I am surrounded by some epic trails then sometimes I will go three-plus hours. The longest I go really depends on how awesome I think the area I am training is. I usually always run daily unless I am feeling too beat up or sometimes work or life runs away with things, but it’s pretty rare that I miss a day. Of course, stuff is slightly altered when coming towards a different event, but overall I feel my training always consists of those things more or less depending on the event. I think having a solid structure of interval speed training, harder long efforts and some climbing to build some strength is important.
My training doesn’t change too drastically depending on the distance.
what does your 50k Trail RUnning training plan look like? It’s clear that for David, trail running is all about enjoying the process and having fun. Here we take a look at David’s flexible trail running training and go-to methods (or lack thereof) when preparing for a trail race, including his diet, favorite routes, recovery techniques and more.
