First 50 Miler Training

[u/Traceless___Morale]

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!

Maybe unpopular but this just seems like too many miles logged for a 50 miler.

I agree. In training for my 50k, I had one week where I ran 30 miles, that was my max. I also didn't run more than 3 days a week, and I focused on strength training 4-5 days a week and specific hill training one day a week.

I don't think people who haven't already done a bunch of races of varying distances should suddenly try to run 5 days a week, at any distance.
