Our first meeting is the program orientation. We are unveiling a new and significant feature to the Sacfit Ultra Marathon training program designed to greatly enhance your overall training and team experience, including improved communication and coaching analysis of your individual workouts. As such, this orientation is a great opportunity to ask questions and familiarize yourself with the training schedule and program. This is an informational meeting only. Note: Although there will be no workout following the orientation meeting, we strongly encourage all registrants to attend.

The first workout for those training for the 50-mile/50K goal is Sunday, January 10, 2021, at 7 a.m.

Description

Sacfit Ultra is a fun, yet serious, ultra-marathon training program. Although normally the program is specially tailored for various Winter and Spring ultra marathon events including, the Salmon Falls 50K, the 50-mile pure-trail race Pioneer 50, 26, and "half marathon," this years program will follow a straight-forward build-up program to prepare for any regional races that may occur later in Spring. For those who've qualified for Western State 100, we also provide an extension training program for the balance of your training from April through June

Because our program is geared toward strong coaching interaction with each individual teammate, the 2021 team is limited to 50 people.

Ultra Marathon Program - This program is designed for intermediate and advanced runners looking to train for his or her first Ultra Marathon or for veteran trail runners wanting to improve upon particular trail running techniques, strategy, pace, and/or race goal, including qualifying for the Western States 100-mile race.

Trail Trekkers - This is an introductory and mid-level trail running and hiking program for beginners and novices wanting to jump into or continue the trail experience, including shorter mileage trail races, or as a nexus toward the goal of an ultra-marathon-distance race. The Trail Trekker team is limited to 25 people.
