As aspect of marathon training that is often overlooked is strengthening workout. A lot of runners think that running is all you need to do to run further, run longer and run faster. And although running is an integral part of your training plan, incorporating strength training workout should not be neglected.

You will want to work on your quads, calves, glutes, and core. The 5 strength exercises I propose cover these - but it's far from an exhaustive list. These exercises have helped me prevent running injuries, but you could always do more. I propose a minimum of 2 sessions of 25 minutes every week as part of your ultra marathon training program.

As mentioned in the video - I've created a list with all the gear I personally use when racing. You can have a look here, or below are the individual links

Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
