Hello,
My wife is running UTMB at the end of August and is struggling to feel confident in her target time for the race. After some back and forth on what would be a good target we decided to ask this wider group of knowledgable runners.
If anyone that has done the race or similar races could share what their training was and finish time. That would be super helpful.
Any tips on how to make the most of the race is also appreciated.
Thanks
A 35-hour target is a highly realistic, well-calibrated goal for her profile. In fact, given her exceptional training volume and raw speed, she has the physical potential to go even faster potentially threatening a sub-32 to 33-hour finish if her fueling and pacing are flawless.
I think r/ultrarunning or r/ultramarathon might be a better forum for this question. Good luck to your wife!
Gave that a try, thanks for that!
bro your girl is training walmsley-numbers, she got this
First things first, well done to your wife that is some incredible training. I haven't run UTMB, but I would look up runners with a similar UTMB index to see what's reasonable. I assume she feels in better shape than her previous race given the huge block she has so maybe take the better times in the range you find.
