I mean when training for an ultra, as a percentage or time, distance or elevation gain or the event.
As I mentioned here, the longest runs I’ve done for my upcoming ultra have been just over a third of race distance and elevation gain.
Is that enough?
Maybe, although I would have liked to have had a run of at least half distance and elevation gain.
However, this ultra is more a training session for a 100-ker I’m doing in October. So this will be one of the long runs I’ll do for that.
When October rolls around, I’ll at least be able to say I did a long run of about 3/4 distance and elevation gain.
The last ultra I did was in 2019 (65km). That’s 85% of this race, but I guess it’s too long ago to say it was training for this race. Or maybe not.
