Learn from Dougie Selman and Lewis Walker via our online education session in January
Moving up from Marathon to Ultra: ‘Minding the Gap’
scottishathletics are pleased to offer an online learning session for the off-track/ultra community.
Our intention is to introduce both athletes and coaches to off-track events beyond the marathon, concentrating on 100km.
The session will be presented by Lewis Walker, coach to a number of GB and Scotland Internationals (in distances ranging from 800m to 100km and beyond) and Dougie Selman, UK 100K Champion and third fastest all-time Scot for the distance.
Attendees will hear first-hand personal experience of the keys to transitioning to Ultra running with training volumes, progressions, tapering, together with the mindset preparation needed to survive ‘the pain cave’. All of this done whilst holding down a full-time job!
Plus the coaching, planning, research and support required to successfully navigate the potential hurdles on the way.
Topics include:
- Gap Analysis and Goal Setting
- Training Intensities and Volume
- Strength Training
- In-Race Changing Factors
- Nutrition and Digestion
When: Wednesday 15 January 2025 at 7pm
