Why Ultra Runners Blow Up
🗓 24 February, 2026⏐ 🕖 19:00 CET
In trail and ultra races, most runners don’t struggle because they lack fitness — they struggle because they burn out too early. A race can feel smooth for the first hours, only to turn into heavy legs, fading energy, and a long march to the finish.
In trail ultras, poor pacing decisions compound silently. Climbs feel deceptively manageable, descents quietly shred your legs, and small effort mistakes early on often turn into major collapses later.
In this webinar, Alex Novicov, a no-BS endurance coach and personal trainer, breaks down the practical principles of pacing and effort control for long trail races — so you can distribute your energy smartly, avoid the classic early-race traps, and maintain performance deep into your event instead of just surviving the final hours.
You’ll learn:
- How to pace climbs without spiking effort too early
- How to control descents so they don’t destroy your legs
- How to manage effort when terrain and fatigue keep changing
- Simple pacing rules you can apply immediately in training and racing
- How to finish strong, not fade in the final hours
This session is designed for runners preparing for UTVV who want to race with control and consistency — not blow up halfway through.
📌 The webinar will be held in English, recorded, and later uploaded to the UTVV YouTube channel.
