Do your races work together? Every verdict comes from the course facts and from how much of one race's preparation carries over to the next. Nothing is saved unless you keep it in your account: your season lives in this page's address.

Your running: 45 km/week · 22 km longest · 5 days · mixed terrain · some experience

Bucovina Ultra Rocks by UTMB Rumble Rock 16K

Works

· 17 km, +700 m · 2–2.8 h on your feet · 1 wk easy running after

42 m of climb per km — steep enough that most runners hike the longer climbs.

Course, cutoffs and race-day guide · Training volume does not certify the technical alpine skills, self-support or intermediate cutoffs this race asks for: check them on the race page.

There is time for a full build before this one.

11 wk building for this race
9 wk is a full build for you (shorter than the generic 12 weeks because you run 45 km a week, far above the 12 km this distance assumes)
1 wk tapering, racing or recovering — building nothing
weeks with climbing: 11, the number this course asks for

This week · Off-season base

Between blocks the season runs our general Evergreen plan, built from the weekly volume and days you entered. You do not need to have used it before.

5h of running

  • Tue Fartlek 45m · Controlled hard efforts by feel; do not chase a pace. Jog to recover between them.
  • Wed Full-body strength (bodyweight) 30m · Controlled reps. Stop 1–2 before failure.
  • Thu Easy run + strides 45m · Easy + short fast strides at end
  • Fri Easy run 45m · Easy — fully conversational
  • Sat Long run 2h · Easy and conversational
  • Sun Easy run 45m · Easy — fully conversational

Next week: Off-season base · 5h

Draft season: at least one race date is an estimate and has not been confirmed with the organiser. The plan re-anchors when it is. One coherent season: each demanding race gets its own build, taper and recovery; shorter races are placed inside a build. Recovery spacing and carry-over are reviewed product conventions calibrated against our reference plans, not physiological measurements. Planning guidance from course facts and your stated training — not medical or coaching advice. Recovery spacing, how much preparation carries over, and how many climbing weeks a course asks for are our own reviewed conventions — inspectable, and not measurements of your physiology.
