Training Fundamentals
If someone were to leave a comment on a video and ask me: "what are some tips you can give me for my first ultra", these are always the first thing I rattle off. Its amazing how many people dont follow the absolute basics when it comes to good training that keeps you consistent, injury free and stops things from unravelling. The key themes here are: patience, consistency and being conservative. The truth is if you nail these, you are pretty much 80% of the way there already.
