UTMB Training Tips: #7-11

And here is the last instalment of UTMB Training Tips. The first 6 are good for year-round training and a wide range of races. Most of your training should be sustainable - mere mortals shouldn't be out there running 100-mile weeks with 20K of vert for most of the year.

UTMB Training Tips: #4-6

Here is the next set of Training Tips. Like tips #1-3, these are also generally helpful to incorporate for any trail / ultra race.
