Notes
- Back to back. Many ultramarathon training schedules use two long runs on consecutive days, and this is the longest of those back to back pairs.
- Peek Weekly. This is the longest week, if specified.
- Day/week. How many days does the plan intend you to run.
- Speedwork. What, if any, faster running is included in the plan. MP = marathon paced runs.
- Time/Distance. Does the plan specify the length of the run in terms of time or distance.
- Level Of Detail. Some plans will give each days run, specifying distance and pace, where others may only give a broad outline.
