Hi all,

I’ve signed up for the 7 Valleys 100km Ultra and I’m looking for some guidance on where to find a proper training plan or a good coach who understands long, hilly UK ultras.

My background:

- Currently running 5 days a week

- Comfortable with structured training

- Want something specific to a tough 100km with elevation, not a generic marathon plan stretched out

What I’m looking for:

- A downloadable 100km training plan (PDF or online) that’s actually been used for mountain/trail ultras

- OR recommendations for UK‑based ultra coaches who build personalised plans

- Bonus if they have experience with long elevation days, pacing strategy, and race‑day prep

If you’ve used a plan you rate, or worked with a coach who genuinely helped you level up, I’d really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
