Training Plans
If you want some ideas how to train for Run Bibbulmun, we recommend the range of extensive resources prepared by our good friend Hanny Allston at Find Your Feet.
She has a broad range of training plans FREE TO DOWNLOAD from her website that range from beginners getting into the sport, through to how to train for a 100 miler. She has a specific program for our Run Larapinta Stage Race that provides great insight into how to prepare for a multi day stage run, so this is a good starting point for sessions you should include.
