This plan is for recreational ultra-trail runners aiming to complete their first 100-mile race, including those in the UTMB® 100M Category.
It’s designed for athletes who:
Have several years of ultra-trail experience.
Have completed a 100K ultra-trail within the last 12 months.
Train consistently at least 6 hours per week.
Want to focus on finishing strong and injury-free rather than racing for time or position.
The emphasis is on a safe, steady build-up, helping you handle the leap from 100K to 100 miles with confidence.
A progressive plan written in English by experienced trail running coaches at Arduua.
Running sessions prescribed by time and heart rate zones (not distance), so training adapts to your personal fitness.
Strength, mobility, and stretch workouts with clear instructions and video support.
A long-term progression that prioritizes gradual adaptation, reducing the risk of overtraining and injury while preparing for the demands of ultra-trail racing.
The plan follows the proven Arduua Training Methodology, progressing through focused training phases:
Base Phase

Nutrition and fueling strategies for taper week and race execution
