Recently completed my first mountain marathon (see previous post). Next objective will be an 87km ultra (5000m vertical) in June next year, with possibly something else in between.
Can people recommend me some books for training, and specifically for working out a good training plan?? My normal weekly activities will include running (obviously), climbing, and snowboarding/splitboarding in winter. I also plan to include core & strength training into any plan.
I'm thinking of Training for the New Alpinism, as that seems to get a lot of good reviews, but is that suitable as a training manual for running trail ultras???
Nutrition wise, I am looking for something on general nutrition, nutrition for training, and healthy eating. Something with typical meal ideas would be good, but doesn't necessarily have to be specific recipes, as I'm a pretty decent cook, and would be able to adapt to something suitable.
Cheers
