50km Ultra Trail
Program for Women
Sustained-climb 50km, ~1,500 to 2,500m
A 20-week training block for women taking on a mountainous 50km with real climbing, sustained climbing and technical descents of races like Six Foot Track, Gone Nuts, Yurrebilla and Wilsons Prom. Built around women's physiology, designed for a 7.5 to 9 hour day where power-hiking, descending and fuelling matter as much as running.
A mountain 50km is a different event from a runnable one
The Ranges tier sits between runnable coastal courses and alpine technical terrain. The demand is elevation gain, variable surfaces, and time on feet in the 7.5–9 hour range. Running economy matters less than climbing strength, descending confidence, and the mental resilience to keep moving uphill for hours.
This program is right for you if
- You're racing a 50km with 1,500–2,500m elevation
- You want to build climbing economy and descending strength
- You need a women-specific program that accounts for cycle, hormones, and recovery
- You're training for races like Six Foot Track, Gone Nuts, Yurrebilla, Wilsons Prom, Ikara, or Lofty's Revenge
Built for the mountains, built for your body
A 20-week progression split into Foundation, Build, Specific, and Peak phases. Each week has a specific purpose: some weeks push intensity, others focus on climbing strength, technical footwork, or descending confidence. The program includes weekly coaching calls, community access, and cycle-aware programming so your training works with your body, not against it.
Everything you need, in one place
- 20-week training program with daily workouts
- Weekly coaching calls (Mondays)
- Community: group runs, shared wins, peer support
- Cycle-aware training notes
- Strength and technique library
- Nutrition and fuelling guidance
- Race-day strategy sessions
Every Her Trails 50km program runs off the same evidence-based, female-first 20-week engine. What changes across the three tiers is the demand stacked on top: vertical, technicality, altitude and time on feet. This is the Ranges tier — designed for sustained climbing and power-hiking in the 1,500–2,500m elevation band, with 7.5–9 hour race finishes.
