5 common mistakes not to make the week before an ultra marathon (with coach Tim Pigott)

Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running

Today we’re covering the 5 most common mistakes not to make the week before your ultra with incredible, unassailable coach and physio, Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching because I have the Arc of Attrition 50 miler on Saturday and I'm about to do it in a fairly new pair of my fave ultra running shoes, without great prior training and feeling a cold from my toddler coming on - should you run at all the week beforehand? So Tim's going to explain what not to do just before your next ultra, and a few last minute things that will help you out and make you feel more confident. Thanks coach Tim!

Coming up next time with Tim:

How to go from a 50 mile/80km race to a 65 mile/100km race: is the training really that much different? I have Race to the King as my next biggie 15 June 2024 so let's see how we should be training for that one.
