Optimize Your Ultramarathon | What I've Learned from Winning and Failing
Join me at my LIVE Masterclass - March 13th https://link.drwillo.com/reigniteyourrunningTarawera Ultra 102km 2023 - Top 10?Can I do it? Last year, Tarawera was cancelled due to covid, which was lucky for me because I trained so hard that I got a sacral stress fracture a couple of weeks before the scheduled race date 😥. In 2021, I raced totally underprepared and pushed myself so far beyond my physical capabilities that I collapsed at 95km (yes, 95!). I was carried out of the forest on a stretcher. I legitimately thought I was going to die 😬.In 2020, I smashed my race eight weeks after becoming a Dad and finished 14th overall in one of the most competitive fields ever seen. This year, I have taken all I’ve learnt from the previous three years and applied it to what has been an absolutely quality build-up (touch wood 👉🪵). What I’ve learnt and what I’ve changed.Last long run earlierChill on the speedworkOnly two LONG runs within two weeksHeart rate over pace and powerVisualisationEasy runs SLOWRead the full blog - https://www.drwilloconnor.com/blogFollow me on Instagram (DMs welcome) - https://www.instagram.com/drwilloconnorStalk my training on Strava - https://link.drwillo.com/strava-profileLinks and resources to help your running.1.
