    Hardrock Qualifier Training #1: Rebuilding for a 100-Mile PR

    Curious about running your first 100-mile ultramarathon or leveling up at a Hardrock qualifier? This audio diary follows my step-by-step ultrarunning training plan as I build toward a personal-best at the Scout Mountain 100 (Pocatello, Idaho, June 2026), with the Knobstone 50 Mile (Southern Indiana, April 2026) as my key tune-up race. Expect practical episodes on 100-mile training, mountain-race preparation, building climbing/descending strength, fueling, recovery, injury prevention, and how to train for a mountain ultra while living in the flat Midwest and juggling a busy professional life. Follow along as I reverse-engineer the season and share what’s working, what’s not, and what you can steal for your own ultramarathon goals. Keywords: ultramarathon training, 100 miler, mountain ultra, Hardrock qualifier, Knobstone 50, Scout Mountain 100, trail running, endurance training
