15 WEEKS TO ULTRA TRAIL AUSTRALIA!
This is the perfect training run for those wanting to get some stair training in on the UTA11, UTA22, UTA50 and UTA100 courses, get familiar with the area, get a lot of stair training done or just cruise along on a guided run in the Blue Mountains.
The experienced trainers from BLUE MOUNTAINS FITNESS have teamed up again with THE BODY MECHANIC. We align our BMF UTA Training Runs with THE LOCKER ROOM UTA Base Training Plans (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced) and the Event Specific UTA11, UTA22, UTA50 and UTA100 Race Training Plans.
This is the end of the first week of The Locker Room 16 Week Race plans for Ultra Trail Australia.

This run will include the UTA11 course as a minimum with additional distance on other UTA trails that are open. The training course route may change due to National Parks/Council closures, landslides, floods or any unforeseen circumstances. We will update details if required.
BLUE MOUNTAINS FITNESS is one of only a few companies with a National Parks and Wildlife ECO PASS licence to carry out run training on the Ultra Trail Australia course. We have been training runners for 14 years to complete the arduous UTA course since 2011. We have highly experienced trainers who know the trails better than most.
We are NPWS ECO PASS licensed and insured to carry out this training within the National Park.
WHY? This is a great training run to get a look at the UTA courses and terrain or see where you are at with your training. The Run trainers at BMF have a wealth of experience to pass on - race prep, race gear, training and race nutrition, race strategy. pacing and info on the course.
We do not leave runners and walkers behind. We have plenty of options with the different pace groups and distances. Our Run Trainers are highly experienced and will see who is doing it easy and also those who are finding it not so easy!
THE COURSE. We will do the UTA11 course as close as possible to the published course pending any National Parks or Council closures. Additional trails used in UTA (with plenty of stairs!) will be added to gain up to 24km.
PACE GROUPS. We'll have 3 Pace Groups - The mighty TURTLES, a MID PACED group and the SPEEDY HARES.
We may even have a Walker Group and a Walk Trainer if required.
GEAR. We will be using this as a race day prep run and ask you to bring the UTA22 Mandatory gear.
START TIME. Turtles pace group will start first at 8am.
Hares and Mid Pace group will also start at 8am but do a little bit extra giving the Turtles a head start.
START/FINISH LOCATION. Violet Street, opposite Scenic World, Katoomba
DISTANCE. 11-24km.
FINISH TIME. We expect to be finished in 2 to 4 hours depending on what distance and pace you run.
The Hares and Mid Paced will do a little extra km at the start and chase the Turtles group. When the groups meet we may swap runners around in the pace groups. You will not be left behind! Our guides are very experienced and will keep the groups together but still push the fitter, faster runners if needed.
NUTRITION. Please bring enough fuel and hydration for this amount of time.
