By "proper" we mean the following:
Gradually increasing the running distances to marathon
length to avoid injuries
Walking as part of distance runs to allow your body to
both recover and accustom itself to the walking / running regimen required for
ultramarathons
Eating during distance runs to acclimate your body to
take in lots of energy while also burning off your fats and carbohydrates
Spacing the distance runs 2 to 3 weeks apart so that
your body can fully reap the benefits of the distance training
Simulating ultramarathon conditions by running on
wooded trails with uneven footing and natural obstacles
Enjoying the runs by training with new friends that
share your goals and desires
