How do I start training for my first ultra marathon?

Build a strong aerobic base, add back-to-back long runs, and work with a coach to avoid overtraining.

What should I eat during a long-distance race?

Aim for 60–90g of carbs per hour, using gels, chews, or real food you’ve tested in training.

Hydrate well, wear light clothing, and use water or ice to regulate temperature.

Start with run-walk sessions, include strength work, and gradually rebuild mileage.

Start conservatively, run by effort not pace, and fuel consistently to maintain energy.

Real performance isn’t built in weeks. It’s built through patience, consistency, and playing the long game.
