    How to Pace a Trail Ultra: Effort, Intensity & Race Strategy

    How should you pace an ultra marathon, and what does “sustainable effort” really mean over longer races? We break down how to manage effort across different terrains and conditions, why pacing by feel matters more than numbers, and the common mistakes that lead to late-race slowdown. We also explain how training intensities translate to race day, and how finding the right effort is key to minimising fade and performing at your best.

    Recovery After an Ultra: Why Racing Too Often Is Holding You Back

    How long should you really take to recover after an ultra, and how soon is too soon to race again? After TGC, we share our own recovery process and why jumping back into racing too quickly can hold you back. We talk through what’s happening in the body post-race, why “training races” aren’t really a thing at longer distances, and how recovery ultimately shapes your entire season. Because at the end of the day, you only benefit from the training you recover from. 🧭 TRAIL TRAINING & ANALYTICS Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ascend⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for personalised trail running plans and data insights.

    The Habits That Help Us Get More From Our Training + Training Camp Reflections

    Tune in for a training update as Transgrancanaria Classic approaches in less than three weeks. We reflect on our separate training camp experiences, before diving into the key habits that help us get more out of our training. From sleep consistency and fueling properly to managing recovery and life stress, we explore the small, repeatable habits that support real training adaptations. If you’re trying to balance life, training, and recovery, this episode will help you think beyond the workout and focus on what actually drives long-term consistency and progress. 🧭 TRAIL TRAINING & ANALYTICS Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AlbonApp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for personalised trail running plans and data insights based on Running Impact.

    Training Camp Decisions, Community Q&A, and Why Good Strava Data Matters

    Henriette and Jon check in from sunny Gran Canaria, where they’ve swapped icy winter training for warm, mountainous trails five weeks out from race day. They talk honestly about how training is going, the challenge of never quite feeling “ready”, and their approach to long runs this time around. They also compare this year’s training to last year’s, including a shift toward more intervals and “spicy” long runs, and discuss how to balance specificity with staying healthy. The episode then dives into recent community questionsfrom AlbonApp, covering what it really means when fitness numbers drop after time off, how to think about flat versus hilly running during base training, and what to do if race day is approaching but running impact fitness still looks low. They also discuss practical advice on training data; why accurate elevation, treadmill recording, and correctly set threshold pace matter. 🔗 Link to threshold pace test HERE (scroll to bottom) 🧭 TRAIL TRAINING & ANALYTICS Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AlbonApp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for personalised trail running plans and data insights based on Running Impact.

    How (Not) to Plan Your Trail Running Season

    Henriette and Jon unpack how (not) to plan a trail running season, and why you can’t just string together random races and hope for the best. With big ultras like TGC and UTMB in mind, they explain how a season needs space for base building, sharpening, tapering, and real recovery. Because long races don’t just take it out of you physically, they can hit emotionally too. They also share a training update from their current training bubble, including how Jon has built back after a tough UTMB period, why he’s bringing intervals back, and how AlbonAppguides their structure. You’ll hear how they think about anchor races, why fewer key races can lead to better season management, and what recovery actually looks like after a hard ultra. Plus: the UTMB “death spiral,” changing plans when injuries happen, racing vs training races, what they’re excited (andnervous) about this season, and a quick end-of-episode joy check-in: ft Northern Lights, pizza, and a Strava troll. 🧭 TRAIL TRAINING & ANALYTICS Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AlbonApp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for personalised trail running plans and data insights based on Running Impact.
