#318: Rob Jones, Arc of Attrition by UTMB

Rob Jones finished the Arc of Attrition in 2026. Of the 630 who started the 100 mile race that year, 261 made it to the end.The 2027 edition runs 22 to 24 January. Entries are open now, first come first served, no ballot. Which means if you want it, the decision is this month, not October.This episode is for the athlete who wants the Arc but trains somewhere that looks nothing like Cornwall in winter. Hot, flat, no mud, no hills, no night running. The question is not whether you are tough enough. It is whether the last 23 weeks of your training can be pointed at a race you cannot rehearse.Rob covers what actually transfers from your environment and what does not, the mistake he made in his own build, the decisions he had to make in order to finish that no plan would have told him to make, and how to choose between the 100M, 100K, 50K and 20K honestly.Not sure which distance to enter?
