[UTVV 2026] Webinar 2: Climb Strong. Descend Fast. Finish Strong.

Technique & Strength to Save Your Quads in Trail Ultras

🗓 January 20, 2026 ⏐ 🕖 19:00 CET

In trail and ultra races, most runners don’t slow down because they’re unfit; they slow down because their legs are destroyed. Poor uphill efficiency, excessive braking on descents, and the wrong kind of strength work quietly drain energy long before the finish line.

In this webinar, Alex Novicov, a no-BS endurance coach and personal trainer, breaks down the practical technique and strength strategies that help trail runners climb more efficiently, descend with control, and protect their quads over long hours in the mountains.

You’ll learn:

• When to run vs power-hike on climbs and how to do both efficiently
• How to descend faster without trashing your quads
• The strength and plyometric work that actually transfers to trail ultras
• How to fit technique and strength into your existing training plan
• Simple drills and takeaways you can start using immediately

This session is designed for runners preparing for UTVV who want to finish strong, not just survive to the finish line.

📌 The webinar will be held in English, recorded and later uploaded to the UTVV YouTube channel.
