What should I do for a 100 Mile Run?
Nice and slow. You’d think that all you need to do is go out and run a bunch of slow miles because that’s pretty much what you’ll be doing on race day: the 100 mile shuffle. We will do some of that, especially on your weekend long run days, but I also think it’s important to get as physically fit as you can.
What’s the average pace for a 100 miler?

The distances vary, but these sandwich runs train you to run with tired legs and force you to use a run/walk strategy, which will be important in the actual race. Don’t make the mistake of attempting runs longer than 30 miles, as the recovery time for these distances is too long.

The Leadville 100 is a race across the sky, run over high mountain passes at altitudes higher than 13,000 feet, while Lean Horse is run on relatively flat rail beds in the hills of South Dakota. The number one rule of training for a 100 mile ultramarathon is to train in similar conditions and on similar terrain as the race will be run.
