Backyard Ultra Training Plan

from £44.99

A backyard ultra challenges runners in a way no fixed distance event can. Instead of one continuous route, you return to the same loop every hour and set off again when the bell goes. The structure sounds simple but the demands are far from it. Success depends on discipline, controlled pacing, steady nutrition, and the ability to reset your mind each hour. Runners aiming for a full day of running need a plan that prepares them for repeated starts, long hours on tired legs, and the mental drift that arrives in the small hours.

This training plan is created for athletes preparing to reach the 24 hour mark which means completing 100 miles under backyard rules. It focuses on the qualities that matter in this format. You develop durability through consistent low intensity volume, learn to handle hourly rest breaks without stiffening, refine your fuelling during short resets, and practise holding a steady loop pace that brings you back with time to spare yet never burns too much energy.

One of the big differences is that it gives you the ability to move workouts. Whilst we don’t recommend changing our plan’s structure, moving workouts around to fit your schedule better can be more productive overall. Don’t worry, we won’t leave you on your own. If you have any questions get in touch.
