Ultra Trail Cape Town
Ultra Trail Cape Town 100 Miler
Now in its 2nd year, the UTCT flagship 100 miler is a beast of a course, trust us, we were on the start line last year and it's not to be taken lightly!
The Float Ultra Trail Cape Town 100 miler training program is a targeted plan catering towards this beautiful and scenic 167k ultra that encompasses the slopes of Table Mountain National Park, running deep into the Cape Peninsula area.
A solid 7850m of D+ requires some hefty hill sessions for which this 16 week training plan caters for. Varied terrain is also taken into account within your long runs as we average 5 sessions per week, gradually upping your VO2 engine thereafter building on your endurance.
Our structured 16 week plan is broken down into BASE, BUILD, PEAK and TAPER blocks, with sufficient rest and recovery in between.
Hill repeats and speed work are a weekly staple, having you teach the body to operate swiftly and efficiently out there on the course. Make those hills your friend, hah!
The aspect of night running is trained for too as this race has you running over 1 full night with some athletes going well into the second night.
We aim to train smart and have you at the start line physically peaking. All right then you little beauty, let’s do this!!
