I have a few ultras this year. Maxing at a 110mile trail.
I really want to be as light and healthy as I can to stand me any chance.
I run a marathon in approx 4hrs and I'm still 2st heavier than I want.
Any good tips

    ultra training doesn't have to be much more than marathon training. A lot depends on the course. what races are you running? Do you have any experience beyond marathon distance? it's a HUGE difference going from 26.2 to 100+

    I've been running ultras for a couple years. I ran 1 in 2017, 5 in 2018, and went down to 3 last year. two of those are 100s. If there are any specific questions you have about training for/running ultras, let me know.
