Meissner, who is based in Spokane, Wash., knows what he’s talking about. We asked veteran ultrarunning coach Sean Meissner for the essential advice he would give to a runner wanting to take on the challenge of a first 50K. Getting Started on Your 50K Training Journey
This guide is aimed at training you to go the distance and, perhaps, give you a taste of, one day, going even farther and training for a 50- or 100-mile race. The 50K (roughly 31 miles) is the “shortest” standard distance you’ll find when you push beyond the limits of the marathon. It’s time to take the journey into what is not just the next distance, but also the next world: Ultrarunning.
Yet inevitably in the wake of the personal victory and after the pain has receded into a distorted memory it’s time to figure out what’s next.įor some, a special breed, the next challenge is about going farther. Not to mention trashed hamstrings, quads and calves. Crossing the finishing line of a marathon brings with it a heady mix of exhilaration, exhaustion and relief.
