True Course - Haliburton is done!

Haliburton is done, and everything about the next training block just changed.
This episode breaks down the new program heading into the second 50K on November 15 — a fourth gym day added specifically because of what Haliburton exposed, and the lessons from that race that reshaped how this block is built.

The Schedule
Running Days
— Tuesday: Easy run, 45–60 minutes (30 in cutback/taper weeks)
— Wednesday: Hill intervals, 45–60 minutes, building from 4 up to 6 rounds of climb-and-descent
— Friday: Recovery run
— Saturday: Nothing for the first few weeks, then progressively added sessions to build fatigue heading into Sunday's long run — simulating what the body feels like deep into race distance
— Sunday: Long run, starting at 60 minutes and building to 4.5 hours at peak, then tapering down
Gym Days
— Tuesday: Strength A — lower body, downhill/eccentric-specific (step-downs, single-leg control, tempo lunges)
— Thursday: Strength B — posterior chain + core (glutes, hamstrings, planks, rotational work)
— Saturday: Strength C — full-body durability (calves, tibialis, ankles, single-leg stability)
