Stronger Together - group coaching for Race to the Stones 50k 2027
STRONGER TOGETHER
Your first ultra. One team. One incredible challenge.
Into Ultra and Adam Leavesley Run Coaching.
We're going to take a group of runners from where they are now to the start line of the Race to the Stones Day One 50K.
You don't have to be an ultrarunner.
You just have to be willing to become one.
Mission
I've been selected by Into Ultra to coach a Stronger Together team working towards the Race to the Stones Day One 50K.
I'll be helping a group of runners build the fitness, knowledge and confidence to take on 50 kilometres of trail running.
And we'll be doing it together.
This isn't about producing elite runners or chasing a finishing time.
It's about helping people discover that they are capable of far more than they thought.
50K might seem a long way right now.
That's okay.
We have plenty of time to get there.
What is Into Ultra?
Into Ultra is a charity helping more people discover the world of ultrarunning.
For many runners, the biggest barrier isn't ability.
It's knowing where to start.
Race entries, coaching, equipment, experience and simply having the confidence to take that first step can all make an ultra feel out of reach.
Into Ultra's Stronger Together programme is designed to help remove those barriers.
Through coaching, support, education and community, runners are given the opportunity to work towards something they may never have believed was possible
