The OMNIA Performance Podcast

4 Key Training & Nutrition Lessons For Ultra Running

Fergus Crawley

In this episode of the Omnia Performance Podcast, Head Coach, Kieran Richardson and Head of Performance Nutrition, Tom McClure break down the fundamentals of preparing for ultra-distance running.

They unpack the differences between a successful ultra and an unsuccessful one — from smart training progression and patience to mastering your fueling strategy and recovery.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “robustness is earned through patience” — and how to build the durability needed for ultra-distance training.
  • How to fuel like an ultra athlete: what to eat, how often, and how to train your gut to handle the demands of race day.
  • The simple carb and recovery strategies that transform performance overnight.
  • Why strength training and faster running work are non-negotiables if you want to go further and finish stronger.

Whether you’re stepping up from marathon distance or planning your first 100-miler, this episode is packed with practical takeaways to help perform at your best in training and on race day.
