FAQs
Q: How much training is required for the Bondi to Manly 4 x 20km relay?
A: This race is suitable for runners who have been running consistently for 6 months and are comfortable running 8km regularly without injuries.
Following a race training plan 4 months out from race day is enough time to get you ready to really enjoy this event.
Some rolling hills and single track training sessions will be helpful in training for this event.
Q: How much training is required for the Bondi to Manly 2 x 40km Relay?
A: This event is suitable for runners who have been training consistently for at least 12 months and are able to comfortably run 17km – 18km regularly on undulating terrain without injuries.
If you have never completed a 17km run, you should consider training for the 20km relay distance instead. If you have been running for 12 months consistently, then 16 weeks of training should be enough time to prepare your body for this 40km race distance without risking injury, but you will need to start your training soon and be diligent with some stretching, rolling and strength work on top of the running training.
Q: How much training is required for the Bondi to Manly Ultra?
A: This distance is suitable for runners who have been training consistently for at least 2 years and are able to comfortably run 20km – 24km regularly on hilly trails without injuries.
Ideally you should already have competed in some 50km trail races before tackling a 80k event.
If you can not, or have not, consistently included a 20km “long run” in your training program, you should consider training for the 40km relay. Six months may not be enough time to prepare your body for this 80km race distance without risking injury.
Q: Can I train on the Bondi to Manly course?
A: Yes, you can train on the course. Keep an eye out for the yellow fish symbols and you are in for a treat.
Q: What is the most challenging aspect of the Bondi to Manly Ultra course?
A: The course encompasses a variety of terrains, including urban pathways, forest trails, and waterfront promenades, with an elevation gain of about 900 meters. You need to be confident with training on varied terrain, including stairs, for your legs to cope with the course on race day.

What our members say
I found the half marathon plan very easy to follow, for both the strength and stability sections, as well as the weekly running plan. Following as closely as possible, I was able to increase my mileage safely, and really begin to enjoy running without fear of my calf blowing up. I also loved adding tempo runs and hill repeats in to my mileage. The joys of hills… Didn’t know I could enjoy them so much.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your programming for my event back in February. I’ve never run 100 miles before and your programming made it really easy to make it to race day and trust in the process. I completed the race in just over 25 hours and I was really happy with it. Thanks again for all the tips and tricks.
