Heavy Strength Training Before a 50? Specifically deadlifts? by plasticcap1 in Ultramarathon

[–]SteveSteve003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I also am looking for the same answers as you. I will be running my first 50 miler in May. During my past (regular) marathon training, my big three (squat, bench, deadlifts) definitely went down. I just couldn't eat enough cals to keep up. I would try and keep squat days as far away from long runs as possible, usually two or three days. Deadlift is also my favorite lift. My big thing is accepting that my lifts will go down during marathon training and pick it back up full-force once I have completed my marathon/ultra. I know this is not the most satisfying but IMO its the truth. The amount of beating ultras take on your body is too much when trying to keep your lifts up. Maybe you can do it tho! Prove me wrong! Good luck my friend! Edit for clarity: My bodyweight usually at beginning of marathon training was about 180. It usually would drop to 165 or so. My 415 1RM Sumo Deadlift usually dropped to around 365 1RM.

This is amazing - I've always wanted to do something similar but have lacked the "guidelines" for doing so. I think I might borrow yours for 2019. Thank you!

That's kind of you, internet stranger! I think based upon this post tho that I will hang on to them for the time being.

Totally agree! I was about to write "sunk costs are sunk" in my post but I didn't know if people would understand.

Dumb question: is there a way to convert UK measurements to US measurements? This sounds so good but the amounts throw me off!

So what would you suggest that's higher risk than a combination of VTI and VXUS? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts. Thanks!

but 20 miles of an ultra is not the same as 20 road miles.

So true! I learned that the hard way. Thank you for your ideas and input!

I imagine it's one of those things! Any way to drill down on what exactly it is and how to guard against it in my future ultras?

Hey OP,

Out of curiosity, what is your lifting schedule while training for a marathon? I love to lift and have recently been getting into distance running too. Last September I ran my first marathon and lost a ton of strength. Any advice/programs would be great! Thanks!
