Welcome to Flatland Ultra!
Welcome to Flatland Ultra!
You’re probably here because you want to run big miles without letting your career or family life fall apart. You’re also here because you live in the Midwest, and you’re tired of reading training plans written for people who have the Rocky Mountains in their backyard.
If you’re here for the 2026 Midwest Ultra Scout Guide, click “subscribe” to receive it in your inbox (be sure to check your spam folder!).
Every Tuesday morning, I’m going to send you one pro-grade email featuring:
The Flatland Feature: Training tactics to build mountain-legs when you live at sea level.
Race Radars: Deep-dive scouts on local Midwest races.
Gear Picks: Highly vetted recommendations that survive humidity and crushed limestone.
Before you go, do me one massive favor: Reply to this email and tell me: What race are you currently training for or would love to do one day? (Seriously, hit reply. It helps ensure these emails don't get lost in your spam folder, and I actually read every single one to help me decide what races to scout next!)
Keep getting those little wins,
Ethan Poulter Founder, Flatland Ultra
