Tarawera Ultra-Trail by UTMB T102

Not as a goal

· 102 km, +2,300 m · 15.5–21.5 h on your feet · 4 wk easy running after

23 m of climb per km — rolling; you will run almost all of it.

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.

Only 19 weeks before it, where your build needs 24.

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”; or if you have raced this distance before, say so under “your running” — an experienced runner needs a shorter build than the generic one; or a higher current weekly volume shortens the build this race needs; or a shorter distance at the same event, or a later edition.

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 Tarawera Ultra-Trail by UTMB T102. 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.
