I really appreciate the advice, especially coming from an ultra finisher. You are absolutely right in saying play is important as is 10%. There will be tough weeks, for sure, but it will be important to not tossing everything out the window if I skip a day or fall behind in my miles one week. It won't be perfect, but if I keep going, I'll get there, eventually. <br><br>Enjoy the biking, that sounds terrific! Thanks Paul.

Thankfully i learnt my lesson early on as injury started to chew on my ankles as i increased the KM's to much to soon. <br><br>This would be my best advice to you while you chase your ultra goal- increase 10% per week. No more. And if you can;t run and skip a session- don't stress. Also - if it becomes to tricky when running- just walk- as long as you have time on your feet and are going forward- that's all that counts.<br><br>As for all the other "limits" or "rules" most in your list make total sense- but all "limits" and no play does get dull after a while. This is easy for me to say though as i'm still taking it easy after the ultra and won't be plugging away at any serious KM's on my feet until the new year. Saying that, I have a week of mountain bing biking in Rotovegas (North Island New Zealand) over new years so that should get the body in check......kicking and screaming no doubt after 3 weeks of "recovery" ;) I agree that limits need to be set to real that goal– and for me it was the trickiest part for me to come to grips with early on when i was training for the ultra.
