How to run a 50 mile ultra fast enough to qualify for a 100 miler (15/16hrs) with coach Tim Pigott

This week’s chat with summer Spine Challenger South winner and coach Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching (https://www.hp-3.co.uk) is all about how to train to run a 50 mile ultra in a fast enough time to qualify for the 100 milers that require you to have completed a 50 in 15 or 16 hours like the Centurion 100 milers and the Montane Lakeland 100. Why is planning so important? What kind of sprint work is best? What about giving yourself the best chance in the race itself by being super efficient at aid stations?
