What might stop you from completing an ultra marathon? And what tactics have been successful? Here are my previous fails - share yours too! This year I'm training for the Manx Mountain marathon, UTS 50k and (fingers crossed!) the Montane Lakeland 100. This is my latest training film where I try to think of all the things that might stop me from completing the biggie (ML100) based on my previous ultra experience and then think of ways to combat them. It's a great exercise in planning, because ultra running is about so much more than just the running part! Hope this helps you on your trail or ultra running journey whatever the distance (it's not all about the long stuff for sure!) and I'm very interested to hear your thoughts in the YouTube comments below. Let's kick some ideas around for beating the things that might make us DNF or succeed!
