Trail & ultra coaching

Trail & ultra
running coaching.

Trail and ultra racing ask more than a weekly kilometre total. Prepare for the terrain, the duration and the decisions you will make along the way.

What we work on

The preparation
behind the progress.

01

Climbing & descending

Prepare for your race’s elevation and technical terrain with hills, strength work and downhill practice. Sessions use the routes and equipment you can access.

02

Endurance & recovery

Build time on your feet gradually, with recovery between demanding sessions. Your feedback guides the balance of longer runs, intensity and rest.

03

Pacing, fuelling & kit

Practise effort, food, fluids and equipment on longer outings. Prepare for the conditions and decisions you expect on race day.

Individual planning

The route is specific. The support is personal.

Your history, schedule, recovery and available terrain shape the plan. We review your feedback and completed training, then adjust the next steps.

From an Apex Rises athlete

“Doing ultras is more than just physical training, it takes a complete mental shift. Claude helped me achieve exactly that before and during my first 100-miler. He didn't just give me a training plan, he changed the entire way I look at trail running. His support when it mattered most was invaluable. Incredible person and incredible coach, grateful till the end.”
