POUR: Pillar of Ultra Running

Jacob Bateman and Kilian Korth discuss the importance of speed work in ultra running, particularly for those training for their first hundred-mile race. They delve into how speed work can enhance performance, the structure of training plans, and various types of speed workouts.

The conversation also highlights the mental benefits of incorporating speed work into training, emphasizing its role in preventing burnout and maintaining motivation.
