This all looks fine to me. HR training it super simple, you just want your heart rate in that zone. I don't think taking breaks is going to have a big impact at all.

Objectively, the best thing you can do is lose some weight so running becomes feasible. That 10 mile walk is a great idea, but it isn't really training your aerobic system.

You might also want to add in some "extra" stuff. For ultrarunning balance, strength, and coordination are all essential. There's tons of resources out there to help you build a program, but I'd recommend mixing it in now. If you can commit to it before you start running you have a really good chance of avoiding injuries.

I'll briefly go over some crosstraining basics, these are just my opinions. Most athletes are good runners, but most runners aren't good athletes. IMO this simple fact explains why 80% of runners encounter an injury sometime in their career. If you want to race ultras the safest way to do so is to start treating yourself like an athlete.

1. For strength training, go low reps high weight. Runners don't need tons of muscle mass, but the muscle they have needs to be strong. This can be dangerous if you lift without proper form so with movements that feel easy. I wouldn't encourage you to jump into squats and deadlifts if those feel uncomfortable. The leg press machine, bulgarian split squats, weighted lunges, and calf raises are good examples of simpler, less stressful movements. You don't need to do a ton of sets of these, or even do that many of them. I normally lift 1-2 times a week, doing three sets of three exercises for 3-5 reps.
   
2. Hate weightlifting? No problem, bodyweight exercises are also awesome. David Roche's 5 minute mountain workout is a great example of an unweighted routine that works your balance, coordination, and musculature. I would strongly recommend working some bodyweight stuff into your routine. Anything on one leg is awesome, anything involving squatting is great, and anything that challenges your core is great. The more muscle groups you need to recruit the better
   
3. Actually finding good exercises can be daunting. A good starting place is Jay dicharry's anatomy for runners. It'll help give you a handle on the strengths and weaknesses of your body, and start you down the path to improving them.
   
   This is an ongoing process that'll follow you across your career as a runner, but stick with it and I guarantee it'll pay dividends.
   
   One other note. Because you haven't started running yet you haven't had a chance to make the mistakes most novice runners run into. I'll list those out briefly, this is just what I've seen in myself and other runners.
   
   

• Slow cadence. I was running with slow cadence for years, and it caused all sorts of problems with my stride. I was bouncing too much which stressed out my calfs, I was leaning to the right which stressed out my quads ect. Cadence is a personal thing, but generally you should try to stay above 170 steps a minute.
  
• Bad programming. The number one way runners get injured is too much too soon. Adjust your weekly mileage slowly and be patient. The best way to get faster is to slowly build up your mileage without getting injured. You're doing a ton of aerobic training now but that's not running training. When you actually start running I would recommend doing couch to 5k, then taking it super slow from there. You have a whole running career infront of you!
  
• Poor glute engagement. Buy that book from dicharry, it'll go into better detail on this than I can. The long and short of it is many runners don't engage their glutes when they run, shifting more work to the calves and quads. This slows them down and makes them way more injury prone.
  
  Good luck!

Everybody goes through ups and downs. Just like how the high points never last forever, the low points (like you're in now) never last forever either. Things WILL get better. Don't be dumb but try to get back in the habit of doing active things when you can. You aren't going to be back to being strong right away, but you can do something. Do that small something and be happy with it. Then do a little bit more. And repeat. Until then, maybe you've earned the chance to rest - just don't "rest" too hard.

If you're looking for reading, David and Megan Roche's "The Happy Runner" does a great job of examining mental health and psyche for endurance athletes. Sounds like it might be right for you right now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JQ4F4TY/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

I haven't read it, but I would check this one out: https://www.amazon.ca/Koerners-Field-Guide-Ultrarunning-Ultramarathon/dp/1937715221

I have read "Daniels' Running Formula" which is very very good: https://www.amazon.ca/Daniels-Running-Formula-3rd-Jack/dp/1450431836/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469153523&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=Daniels+runnnig

I also recommend "Advanced Marathoning" which is a better all purpose "how to be a runner" book than Daniels, but a bit less scientific.

Both have training plans for beginners. And like people mentioned: getting good quickly is easy... it's not getting hurt that is tough!

Congrats on making more time to run and getting into the trail and ultra scene. I would encourage you to get out as many races as you can in a volunteer, crew and pacer role and learn from others in the sport. Be patient in your progress. remember endurance training (and ultrarunning) takes years and decades to build. SO, just be patient with progress. there are a number of good books an resources out there including my book and blog as well as ultrarunning magazine.

For my first 50-miler, I used Hal Koerner's plan that can be found in the back of his book--and also with a quick Google search.

Basically, his plan had me doing an hour of running each day (6-9miles) during the week. And, then the weekends were back-to-back long runs.

I usually run everything under 12miles at about a 7min/mile clip. On the weekends, I'd find my way to the trails and work on slowing down and just covering the mileage, but even then, my pace was no slower than 10min/mile.

Since I live in such a flat location, I told myself I would run faster each run to make up for the lack of elevation & altitude training. And, it worked. I got to the start line on race day and felt amazing. I finished that day and my legs still felt really great (I had other issues, but it was due to my poor eating). If you need a race recap, here's mine.

I would highly suggest Hal's plans, as I just used his to attempt my first 100-miler in September. I had to quit at mile-77 with a pretty badly sprained ankle, but my legs were feeling great. I really think his plans are quite good. I'm modifying his 100-mile plan right now to take another shot at 100-miles in December.

Hal Koerner's Field Guide to Ultrarunning is a really useful reference. Hal won Western States and Hardrock despite never having "elite" athletic ability. His race day execution is legendary.

Relentless Forward Progress by Bryon Powell is another good one. Bryon is a front-of-the-mid-pack runner and editor of irunfar (which is another good reference). His knowledge of ultrarunning is encyclopedic.

I can actually get away with a lot less in races than training runs, mostly because races have more regular aid. For my first two 100 milers, I only used a single 20 oz handheld, because there was never more than 5 miles between aid stations. I just did the VT 100 over the weekend and had 3 12 oz bottles (1 in each hand, and 1 in the back of a naked belt), and only had to break into the one in the waistband once, despite it being 96 degrees.

But for really long runs, having up to two liters of carrying capacity is nice, and often necessary. I'll sometimes use a vest that also has side pockets, so I'll have one water bottle upfront for easy access, then smart water bottles in the sides for extra capacity (they're pretty durable and the threads work with my filter if I need to filter water on the go).

I've used Salomon Vests (previous gen skin 5 is my current), the first gen UD Fastpack 20, this from Aonijie / Triwonder (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MLR8X9H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 suprisingly good for cheap if it fits you properly), and my current long distance go to is the Black Diamond Distance 15, which I think is a really killer vest / pack.

You can buy running tights in all sorts of lengths, ranging from "tight shorts" to full-length tights. Any running store worth their brick & mortar should have them, and you can buy them online from pretty much anywhere. This, for example, should work just fine.

Anyway, yes, tight shorts are the solution to inner-thigh chafing. Even the shortest men's models are usually long enough for this. It pays off to try them on though, because if the fit isn't right they'll ride up and either expose the chafing areas, or end up crammed between the leg and where the man parts attach, and cause chafing there.

I'm a big fan of Ginger Chews. You can get a pack at Trader Joes for like $2 (Gingins). I don't even like ginger that much, but these really help, and have calories!

You can also get them on Amazon, of course: http://www.amazon.com/Ginger-People-Original-Chews-3oz/dp/B000BP1SDM

Skurka is better known as an ultralight backpacker / adventurer, so he has an interesting perspective on ultra running.

Edit: he finished at 37th place in 7:26

Suunto Ambit 3 peak has great battery life, fits your needs, and is relatively inexpensive now at $275 though it will not play podcasts. Any phone that plays podcasts like the newer fenix are unlikely to last you an ultramarathom. I would suggest buying a small music player for a few dollars for your podcasts and manually DL onto it. Sure, it's more work but a lot cheaper and those batteries will last you a full day.

For feet prep: I just use sweatblocker a day or two before. Rinse it off, dry your feet, then apply leuokotape where you traditionally hotspot during training. Then wear injinji's. I've done this for so many races, and never had blisters -- even with 100 milers in downpouring conditions. I never change socks as well.

As far as nips: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Transpore-Clear-1-Inch-10-Yard/dp/B005OFM6JE/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1492777051&sr=8-13 (stays on much better than band aids, and can also be used as part of a medical kit)

Dang thats a lot of different anti-chafe. I just use Trislide spray anywhere I might chafe or get a hotspot. Don't even really need to rub it in or anything, its amazing.

I've worn this hat for a couple of ultras in the sun. Very comfortable and well ventilated. Keeps all sun off the face, ears, and neck.

I can't speak to the R8 but I have the TriggerPoint GRID roller and I really like it:

https://www.amazon.com/TriggerPoint-Roller-Instructional-Original-13-inch/dp/B01LW755GP

The only reason I mention it here is because it's a) $40 and b) hollow so you can pack it full of underwear, T-shirts, whatever and I'd wager it takes up less packing room than the R8

I'd highly recommend Koops book which touches the subject.

You could make the graphic with Gimp or Photoshop and then order a print from here (18x24 is $22).

I can help with the graphic if you need it.

FroggToggs. Pants weigh about 5oz. Still ugly, but they come in different colors and they're cheap. Just a note, the fit is one size bigger than normal. I'm 5'10" and the small fits me. Medium was too long.
