Training for my first 100km race! Training Vlog no.4 - Lots of vertical!

Getting up to some of my biggest training weeks EVER! also getting keen for Ultra Trail Australia now only about a week away! Check out how I'm training for the thing that ALMOST RUINED ME at UTA last year - Vertical.
Hopefully I'll be ready soon for my first 100km race - Val D'Aran by UTMB

I did my first 100k last September. In a storm. One-third of the starters DNF'd. It was certainly not two times a 50k. Felt more like 2-1/2 times, if not more. Night time on slippery rocks was surreal. Two things I did right. Spent as little time in the aid stations as possible. And never stopped on the uphills. A long race can lull you into a false sense of how much time you have. I was lucky too because I had trained all year in the mud, which helped a lot on the downhills. I learned also that I needed to train hiking up at a higher cadence, which is a lesson I'm taking into my races this year. Good luck with your training. Sounds like you doing the right things. Will be following along.
