Thanks a lot, it’s really helpfull to have you answering here.

So the plan for the next months will be enjoying tri training (it’s 3-5 run sessions keeping 1 speed workout, 3 swim 3-4k, and 2-3 bike or xc skiing per week).
I’ll progress on the ME gym workout described in the book during winter.
Then, 4-5 months before Ut4m i’ll cut tri training to focus mainly on the Mike foot’s plan, maybe some cross training to recover if needed. I’ll also try to plan a 40-50k trail race in march, and a 70-80 in april/may.

If I understood well, the plan will Take me running around the same mileage as my A race for the big weeks ?

Now, I know the road… Just have to do the work and enjoy.. thanks

Ok thanks a lot for the answers.
I think I will keep training in the pool, run and bike (xc ski) during the winter. I’ll try to keep a long xc ski per week during winter (+3h), and up my run mileage to 70/80k at the end of winter.
I’ll Aldo try to do one ME workout per week (indoor ua session or Hill z3 intervals).

Then, if everything ok, start the Big foot plan 12-20w before the race and stop tri training

Is there a table like in the Book to know what kind of mileage or elevation I need to aim at the end of the preparation ?
It’s new for me, I never trained for the 2-3 days or 70k moutain runs I did because It was not in race ans I had the triathlon training base to do that in good conditions…
I know there will be hard Times during such a race, but I want to go there having done the best I Can to be ready…
And if Beeing ready means running 200k and 10000m elevation a week during training …I will not do those kind of races because my life doesnt allow me to do that and I will break ?

The race IS 170k with 10000m elevation.
With run around Grenoble, doing the 4 moutains there is.
So, it’s like 4 Big blocs, WE go up a mountain, then WE Come back in the Valley ans WE start the next one.
The first and last are not very technical, but in the second and third there is a lot of rocks, included the downhill segments are very technical.

I work as a physio and I see too many trail runners with injuries.
I don’t know what it takes to do that in good conditions, and I want to be sure I Can manage the training load needed to enjoy the moment and wanting to do another..
