Thanks for this and other replies. It's occurred to me that jumping straight into an ultra training plan when I haven't really been doing much (/any) running recently may not be that sensible so I've decided to wait till after Christmas for anything longer than 20km. Otherwise it's going to eat into time when I could be stuffing my face with wine and mince pies.
Would still like to hit 200km during December though.

@tricitybendix how long is your ultra and how far through your training cycle are you?
When I was training for ultras I did back to back long days at the weekend as I felt it was less damaging than doing a single mega-run and I was still carrying the fatigue between days.
If you have a good base then don't worry about missing the odd day. There is more to life than running, enjoy some Christmas stuff and missing a run or two won't make much difference to your training.
