Training First 50 Miler Training
Completely honest, not really sure on what to stick with for a training plan. This is something I found and I am actively strength training 4-6 times a week at the moment. Does anyone have any recommendations on this or tips? The race is the San Diego 50 Miler. Thank you!

This is a pretty similar plan to what I did for my first 50 miler earlier this year. Very similar midweek program (mixing in speedwork and hills on Tue + Thur), but I took longer to get up to 20+ miles and I didn't do as many double long run weekends. I did do a 50k long run once though which I found very helpful in learning about time on feet and nutrition. I agree with other commenters that you could scale this back to 75% and be fine. Your legs will be very strong by the end of this.
