Entering Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko by UTMB? Here's some basics for the mid-pack ultra-runner.

Are you a mid or back-pack runner thinking about entering an Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko by UTMB event – 30k, 50k, 100k or the Miler? Here’s a high-level look at a few things that may be helpful when considering how to approach it. I’ve highlighted a few of the considerations from the last two years at this event from a mid-pace perspective – often very different from elite and sub-elite athletes who are well versed in this stuff – or at least should be!

A massive thank you to the organisers, volunteers and all of the happy and courteous runners in all events. We will continue to front up for this awesome event! #utmb #hoka ‪@ultra-trailkosciuszkobyutm1204‬ ‪@HOKA_TV‬ ‪@UTMBMontBlanc‬ ‪@UTMBWorldSeries‬

We stayed in Jindabyne again, which is always a great spot to be. Thredbo Village as the base for the start/finish of most races was a great choice! Awesome vibe! #thredbo #Jindabyne

I hope your running is progressing as you’d hoped and you’re enjoying everything on the Outside – it’s better on The Outside!
Gear – I ran (again) in a new pair of HOKA Speedgoat 5 shoes. I lost count of the other pairs I saw on the course. A VERY popular shoe!

Current training gear (Not that it's critical!): Hoka Speedgoat 5 & Hoka Clifton 9 - Enjoying this combo - still!
