Ultramarathon Training Month 4: March
The mileage build-up continues, as you follow George's 50-K program. Long runs for the four weekends in March would be: 24, 25, 26 and 20. Toward the end of this six-week stage, you will have nudged your weekly mileage up to near 55. Feel free to juggle the distances (or times) if weather and your schedule dictates. Consider also the possibility of entering a regular marathon (without tapering) for one or more of your long runs. The advantage is that you get to use a traffic-free course and aid stations; the disadvantage is that you may get carried away by the spirit of those around you and run too fast and compromise your training. At the end of March, and continuing into April, you enter the next phase of your ultramarathon training.
