One of iRunFar’s recent highlights was the addition of Ian Torrence’s Your Ultra-Training Bag of Tricks column. So far, he’s provided his insights into nine discrete ultramarathon training topics.
- Essential Elements of Ultramarathon Training
- Endurance-Based Workouts
- Stamina-Based Workouts
- Speed-Based Workouts
- Sprint-Based, Hill and Predictor Workouts
- The Difficult Art of Peaking
- Recovery
- Altitude Training and Racing
- Two-A-Days
Ian will be back to doling out his experienced advice after a short hiatus. The topics he’ll tackle in coming months are a bit more esoteric – motivation, goal setting, and pacing during a race – than his physiology-focused efforts to date.
