I moved into ultras from a 24hr TT background where I was almost never out of the aerobars, other than for braking and handups. I spend a LOT of time on aerobars training.
I'll climb in the aerobars until it gets too steep. I'll get out of the aerobars riding through busy places, technical climbs and some technical descents. Basically, if there's hazards I might need to brake for or maybe in ultras I'm taking a photo of something I'll sit up but I'm definitely in the aerobars more than most. Nowadays less so because I don't train so much and I'm tending to do hillier and or rougher rides but any time the road/trail is clear I'd be back on the extensions.
