Hi there,
I am currently running 3 mid week runs and a long run at the weekend, up to about 20km on a trail.
I want to do a trail 50km (Tarawera New Zealand) next February. It’s pretty hilly so wonder if the beginner 50km plan is suitable for a trail 50km (Hilly)?

I have lots of good hills near me on the road but do I need to get to the trails every weekend?

Thanks.

Phil

Hi Phil,

The answer is yes. All of our ultramarathon plans were designed with the assumption that the race would take place on a hilly trail course.
