"Untitled Ultra"

The story behind "Untitled Ultra": it was a benchmark for one of Ryan’s goal races this year: Mantra 68 km - 5,000 EG. The distance and elevation on this run were close enough to simulate race day.

There was a lot to take away from the run. Ryan felt it drained him physically, even though mentally he felt really good.

One thing that helped Ryan stay in a good place mentally was that he could enjoy the run, something you can’t always count on in race conditions.

A few things went into the notes for evaluation, from how to build and maintain endurance, to the need for more strength training, to the fueling strategy.

There are still 20 weeks to go until the Goal Race, plenty of time to put in a better block of training.
