ultra marathon How to Qualify & Train for the Western States 100 Mile Run

Coach Alex Ho of Revision Athletics share his experience qualifying, training, and racing the 2018 Western States 100-mile run.

We discuss the lottery process for the race, how he finally got in, and what you need to do to improve your chances in future lotteries.

Note outright qualifying is bananas! Having recently won the prestigious Quad Dipsea race in 2017, Alex is no joke of a runner.

He shares how he trained for it, from the more general work he did 6 months out to the specific sessions he did to get ready for the elevation and challenges of a 100-mile run.

Giving you some course recon, Alex shares the hardest part about his race in 2018 (the heat), what he enjoyed the most (the sunrise climb out of Squaw), and what surprised him too (you'll just have to watch!).

Thanks to Alex for joining us. You can catch him with us in another few weeks where he shares his favorite Ultra Runner Tips for Newbies!
