Chianti Ultra Trail by UTMB UTCC 120K

Tight

· 120 km, +5,200 m · 21.3–29.5 h on your feet · 6 wk easy running after

43 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 are enough weeks, but your longest recent run (22 km) is short of the 28 km a build for a race this long starts from — the plan closes that with no slack.

What would change this: build your long run to about 28 km before the block begins, or finish a 50–80 km race first; if your longest recent run is already longer than 22 km, say so under “your running”.

What you could change

In the order most runners prefer: keep the trip if you can, drop the race last.

  • change distance Take a shorter distance at the same event as Chianti Ultra Trail by UTMB UTCC 120K. It keeps the trip and the entry, and a shorter race costs less recovery while transferring nearly as much preparation.

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.
