Hill sprints really clear the throat and lungs huh.

Can anyone remember making the jump from half marathon/marathon to ultra and what changed? Did you do more long slow miles or just stay the same and trust it would all come together?

I did a lot of reading up on training for my first ultra, everything said slow down (more than you think you need to) and just focus on time on feet. It's good advice but I'd keep up the interval/hill work too to maintain the speed/strength you have.

Marathon you tend to have more of a time goal so you'd do long runs with target pace sections, or target pace workouts. Don't generally see those in ultra plans.

I do a fair bit at slow miles, I try do 80/20 but it’s really like 65/35 so that won’t be a huge jump and it’s only 33 miles so maybe I’m just over thinking it.

Any reading suggestions are welcome.
