Your Next Mountain Milestone

Her Trails x Ultra-Trail Australia 100 km

The UTA 100 is the pinnacle of Australian trail running: a 100 km journey through escarpments, ridgelines, valleys and stairs carved into the Blue Mountains. This course asks for patience, grit and strategy, rewarding presence as much as power.

Our 20-week program helps you build the endurance, elevation strength and mental composure to take on a full day in the mountains. You will learn to manage energy, fuel consistently and stay calm through the highs and lows of long-course racing.

Your 20-Week Phase Structure

Prime to Build (Weeks 1–4): Develop rhythm, mobility and posture while establishing a strong aerobic foundation.
Mindset: Start steady, stay curious – progress through patience and awareness.

Build (Weeks 5–10): Increase training load gradually with sustained climbs, endurance sessions and strength focus. Practise fuelling, pacing and recovery systems.
Mindset: Strong through consistency – layer durability one session at a time.

Peak (Weeks 11–16): Simulate race effort across longer outings, refine nutrition and hone mental endurance for sustained output.
Mindset: Calm under load – focus on control, not intensity.

Taper and Integrate (Weeks 17–20): Allow adaptation, sharpen focus and reinforce recovery. Reduce volume while maintaining strength and movement quality.
Mindset: Arrive ready, not restless – clarity and trust over volume.

Female-Specific Focus

  • βœ” Cycle-aware adaptation: Training phases align with hormonal rhythms to balance intensity, recovery and energy availability.
  • βœ” Energy and hydration strategy: Learn to fuel early, hydrate consistently and manage electrolytes for all-day performance.
  • βœ” Resilience through recovery: Mobility, journaling and reflection sessions help process load physically and mentally.
  • βœ” Strength continuity: Focus on glute, hip and core activation to support pelvic stability and control through climbs and descents.
