(Ep.21) Why Hiking & Walking Belong in Your Backyard Ultra Training Plan

 Walking isn’t a failure in a backyard ultra. It’s a skill.   In this episode, Jaci breaks down why hiking and intentional walking are essential for going further in the backyard format and why most runners underestimate how much speed and efficiency they can gain by improving their slowest miles.   You’ll learn:  • Why trail pace should never be compared to road pace • Why walking the hills early conserves energy and delays fatigue • How improving hiking speed often gives more return than trying to run faster • Why coming in with too much time left each loop is wasted energy • How walking helps regulate heart rate, body temperature, fueling needs, and GI stress • The two biggest walking mistakes new backyard runners make • Why efficient hill hiking actually makes you faster on flat terrain If you haven’t already, listen to Episode 8 on pacing, which pairs perfectly with this conversation. The backyard ultra is easy until it isn’t. What makes it hard isn't walking; it's running too much too soon. Learning how (and when) to walk is how you stay in the game longer.   👉 Don’t miss the next yard.
