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?
Many more slow miles, gradually extending weekly long run.
Also back to back / double day runs, more run commuting carrying stuff.
I didn't do much faster training stuff but did race 5k's in and around training and found running slow hadn't made me slower, but I possibly could have gone even faster / got injured if I'd done more speedwork - i'll never know for sure which.

Hill sprints really clear the throat and lungs huh.
