The Art of the Long Run: Joe Corcione on How to Plan Ultra Long Runs

Joe Corcione is an ultramarathoner, running coach, and the founder of Every Day Ultra. He hosts the popular Every Day Ultra Podcast. 

He joins us to discuss the art of ultramarathon long runs: 

• What's the minimum volume before starting to train for an ultra?
• What are the three types of long runs that he recommends?
• How to progress long runs throughout a training cycle
• What else are we training (besides endurance) during a long run?

Joe is a wealth of information and one of the most inspiring people to speak with. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

"My ankle and knee pain was completely gone in a week. Amazing!" - Kim

"I thought I was on the verge of having to give up running due to severe hip pain and luckily discovered Previnex - complete game changer for me!" - Anna

"I am so grateful for Joint Health Plus! As a certified fitness professional and still an extremely active, competitive amateur athlete, I was getting discouraged with an increase in pain simply kneeling down, or bending down to the floor and getting back up while assisting clients, or in my own training! Once deciding to give this product a try, I was floored when I finally noticed I was not bracing in anticipation of pain when I had to kneel down; not whincing in discomfort upon standing! Thank you, Prevenix!" - Jessica

Joint Health Plus is so powerful because the main active ingredient is clinically proven to reduce joint pain, reduce joint stiffness, and improve joint flexibility in just 7-10 days. It's also clinically proven, not just tested, but actually proven in double-blinded, placebo- controlled studies to protect joint cartilage from breaking down during exercise.
