Week 1Sulphur 50KThe 100

The skeleton

Monday and Saturday are free days, so they carry the two sessions that matter. Wednesday is a full rest day; Friday is strength with no running.

Strength for knees and hips

The same two sessions for fifty-eight weeks. Session B matters most for this course — out and back means 2,400 m of descent as well as ascent, and quads are what fail first.

A · Posterior chain and hips

    B · Eccentric quad and knee resilience

      The other calendar

      The ministry year against the build — where they meet, and what to do about it. The DT venue search is off the list, and Singapore moved to Sydney.

      Diarise these

      Sulphur Springs sells out every year, and the 2027 date for the 100 is still a projection. December is the month that matters — everything else follows from confirming the date and the qualifier.

      Five guardrails

      What keeps this alive for fifty-eight weeks. Seven weeks shorter than the Kosciuszko version, so there is slightly less slack — rule five matters more now, not less.
