Webinar 1: How To Train Efficiently For Your First Ultra Trail Race

In this session, we’ll dive into practical strategies to help you prepare for your first trail or ultra-trail race with confidence.

You will learn:

– How to structure your training leading up to UTVV in April 2026

– How to avoid burnout and train efficiently

– Simple nutrition strategies for long runs

– How to build endurance and strength in a smart, sustainable way

We will also include a special guest appearance — more details coming soon — and finish with a Q&A session, where you’ll be able to ask anything about training, preparation, or your UTVV journey.

We can’t wait to start this new chapter with you.

The webinar will be held in English, and the UTVV team will be available to provide live translation to Slovenian (and vice versa) whenever needed.
