Description

How do you actually train for an ultramarathon?

Not according to Instagram. Not according to the bloke who runs 100 miles every weekend. And definitely not by simply running more and more until your knees fall off.

In this episode of the Rokman Podcast, we break down how to train for an ultramarathon without all the influencer nonsense.

Paul Zlabickas and Ben Wiley recently completed the Welsh Coastal Path — 870 miles and around 30,000m of elevation — in just 18 days and 5 hours, setting a new fastest known time.

But the interesting part isn't just what happened during those 870 miles.

It's how they trained for it.
