I tried a 50K trail run last summer. I failed miserably. Oh ya, I finished. 11 hours after I started.
11 hours.
My main problem, I know, was fueling. In hindsight, I can see I was out of gas completely. Trying to climb hills and feeling like I could barely walk, let alone run. That, and not training enough on trails. I did shorter runs on local trails around my neighbourhood, but my longest 25 mile run was completely flat. Yes, I know, I should have known better.
That's why I'm trying again. I have 4 months to train. I've done up my schedule - it looks daunting. But I get motivation from other running blogs, mainly Skinny Runner and Runners Rambles. If Aron can manage 50 miles, I'm hoping I can reach 31, feeling proud and good about how I ran!
Only 6 on the schedule today. Here we go!
