- THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU'LL FIND THESE REAL-WORLD SECRET TRAIL MARATHON AND 50K RACE TACTICS VIDEOS SHARED!
Well, this and our website: www.trailandkale.com/tips/tra...
I'M SHARING ALL MY INSIDER TRAIL MARATHON & 50K RACE TRAINING AND RACING TIPS WITH YOU IN THIS SERIES!!! These are the tips everyone needs to know when training and racing a trail marathon or 50k but are rarely shared. As a long-time trail and ultra runner I hope you'll find my personal tried-and-tested tips helpful for your trail marathon training, and race day.
Although in this video I refer to running a trail marathon race distance, this trail marathon training plan and race guide also applies to training for a 50k ultra race. I train and plan for both races exactly the same way, because in reality there is only 8km / 5 miles difference between the two races, which in the context of a trail race this long doesn't make any difference to the focus and effort I put into training, nutrition, recovery and race tactics.
SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL AND BOOKMARK THIS PLAYLIST as there are 10 episodes all together, and you'll probably want to watch them in order! It will also help to revisit certain videos in this series at some point during your trail marathon or 50k ultra marathon training.

Everyone has their sneaky tactics during a trail marathon or 50k race, whether they like to admit it or not. Some do it as a bit of fun to help occupy their mind during a 50k ultra or long trail marathon race, while some runners are just super competitive (you know who you are! :)) - whatever your motivations are, it’s worth knowing some of these tactics in case you ever find yourself needing to jump up through the race rankings. So get ready as I'm about to reveal 11 race tactics to help you outsmart your competition!

First Ultra Dec 9 2023! Thanks for the advice
You’re welcome! Which race is it?
Good luck. 👍
Love this video!
Thank you! Hope You enjoyed the rest of the series too
Great tips, thanks for sharing! ;)
You’re welcome!
Thank you for these videos, valuable information. I will be watching your other videos as well. I am running my first 50K in April with an elevation gain of 4,000ft! I have been running steep hills by my house for training. I am nervous but excited. It is an area that I love in San Diego where the mountains meet the desert. So I think being in my happy place will help!
That’s going to be so much fun! What’s the race called? Sounds like one we may enjoy ourselves one day (not too far from the Bay Area). Don’t forget to visit our blog post version of this training plan too - even more information on there to help you smash the race and have the best time out there :) www.trailandkale.com/tips/trail-marathon-50k-training-plan/

Thank you. I am doing my first 50K in March of next year.
Awesome! Enjoy the training!!
Im doing my first 50k trail race on 13 august and was planning on eating some honey sandwiches and Jelly babies do you think this is perhaps too much sugar. As a side note I do eat these on my trail running training runs. Also I tend to eat and drink as I'm running but nothing faster than 6.30 pace
Hey there, the honey sandwiches sound like a great idea although they'll likely get very messy after a few hours festering in your hydration pack.
Jelly babies I would definitely avoid as that processed sugar will spike your energy way too quickly, and give you a quick dip shortly after.
I'd recommend slower release foods like bananas, and gels designed to smooth out energy and give enough fuel per 40-minute intervals. My favorite gels are here: www.trailandkale.com/fuel/best-energy-gels-chews-running-endurance/ - and when it comes to keeping cramping at bay, I'd recommend SaltStick tabs, and/or an electrolyte drink mix that you can add to water at aid stations. SaltStick also does a good drink mix that I like to use.
Hope this helps, and good luck in your race :) - Alastair
@@trailandkale Wow thanks for the advice I'm doing as much prep as I can. Training is going well so I am hoping for a very quick time for my first 1
Super helpful
