How To Run Longer (without getting tired) – Ultra Marathon Training Tips

How can you run longer without getting tired? Long distance running such as marathon and ultra marathon requires specific training to increase endurance and allow you to run long distance almost without effort. Basically, zone 2 hocus pocus stuff. Those back-to-back long runs will get longer and longer, but you will somehow manage to be less tired during – reaching a state where you could keep going all day. .. And all night. … And some of the next day too!

Now let’s be clear, I’m not saying being able to run long distance such as a marathon without getting tired is easy – quite the contrary, it is very difficult. To “make it easy” is in itself quite an achievement. It requires persistence in training, hard work, and patience. But it can be done!

And today, I want to discuss about some tips to help you reach this. These tips I’ve discovered while racing 100 milers every month for the past 2 years. They are personal, and although they are quick to give, they are not quick or even easy to follow – but they are simple (and hopefully, helpful!).

Lastly, as mentioned in the video, Nora my wife, as been such a great partner through these years of racing. Crewing, pacing, training together. She is a wonderful person – and if you are not familiar with her, have a look at my Ouray 100, Badwater 135 or Leadville races. She is a wonderful person who always gives to other – and she’s been nominated as Best Pacer of the year by ultrasignup. Taking the 2 min to go vote for her would be greatly appreciated as none of these videos would be possible without her tremendous support!

Sadly the voting period is over, but leave a comment below to thank her!!!


As always - Thanks for watching and remember -

Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
