Løb
Good hill running technique means running by effort, not pace. On climbs, let your pace drop, shorten your stride and keep your cadence quick. On descents, stay relaxed, lean slightly forward and control your speed, because downhill running loads your muscles far harder than your heart rate suggests. Uphill and downhill are separate skills, and they need separate training.
A sub-3 marathon means averaging 4:15 per kilometre (6:51 per mile) for 42.2 km. Most runners who achieve it can already run around 18:45 for 5 km, 39:00 for 10 km and 1:25 for the half marathon, peak at 70–110 km a week and take in 60–90 g of carbohydrate per hour on race day. Below are the numbers, the sessions and the fuelling plan that make sub-3 marathon training realistic rather than hopeful.
UTMB er et over 160 km langt trailløb rundt om Mont Blanc-massivet, med store stigninger, tekniske nedløb, udsatte bjergkamme og kolde nætter, som alt sammen kræver noget forskelligt af din krop, time efter time.
Trail- og adventurerunning kræver mere af din strategi for energiindtag. Du er afsted i længere tid, terrænet er uforudsigeligt, og adgangen til depoter er ofte begrænset. At få styr på dine kulhydrater, væske og salt handler ikke kun om præstation — det er afgørende for din sikkerhed og for rent faktisk at nyde turen.
