I know Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc is out of reach for a few years, not necessarily due to its physical strain, but due to its financial pain. Either way, researching the race is better than watching re-runs on the tube. I came across the North Face Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc "Get Ready For North Face Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc" series. I know it is specific for Mont-Blanc, but some great advice from season ultra runners. As I looked more into the “Get Ready For . . . “ series, they seem to have mini-series’ for a number of the big European races. I will look in to those later. Cross Training: This video is a back and abs workout specifically for mountain ultra runners. It is simple and something we could all add to our work outs. I have not added any strength workouts to my training yet, but this is my next step. Leadville is a serious race and I am going to do all I can to prepare. Check out this workout.

Endurance Hill Training: It seems that all I do is run in the hills, but am I training right? This video covers two hill training workouts, strength and endurance. This work out would be great for all mountain runners.
Heart Rate: I am new to heart rate training, but it is my next focus. I will have a heart rate strap for my Garmin within the week. This video covers how to improve your speed via Heart rate.
