Re: high mileage advice

I appreciate the advice, I guess sometimes I feel like I'm sludding along at a snails pace and get a little discouraged. I can be on my feet for a 4 hour run but feel like I'm doing it very slow. Is this other peoples experience? Do I need to cut mileage and work on some speed ?

I haven't done the race but I believe my coach has- her name is Janet Runyan, she has a website and is in the Boulder area. She would be a great resource.

Sounds so simple in writing! It is where I'm headed, I've been doing 15 to 20 every Saturday, doing a little holiday recovery work and then back to higher mileage. I have a lot of the gear but I've been "hiking" rather than trail running. I need to acquire a smaller pack and start going out for back to backs like you suggested.

I think Boulder sounds more attractive because it's in my back yard, the temps for Moab would concern me. Although I took a peek at the Desert R.A.T.S. also, 6 day stage race. Sounds very compelling! Still looking for logical explanations to spouse and family...............

I've finished a few marathons and completed a full Ironman. I've started doing some longer hikes this year but I'm kind of "in-between" deciding what I want to do. I'm hoping to do the Boulder 100 in 2010 but feel I have alot of training to go.

Anybody familiar or completed the 4 day stage race? I'm looking for training advice or info before thinking I could tackle it. Any help would be great. Thanks

I've run a few marathons in the past and finished my first full-ironman 1 1/2 years ago. I really want to do ultras- what would be some key pointers to getting my distance and mileage up that high. and how high is high enough to finish like a 50 miler?

What a great idea! The neighbors may get annoyed with the headlamp person running through the neighborhood at 5am but who cares! Thanks for the great help! I'm kicking myself for not thinking of such a simple solution:)

Running in the Dark

guest — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 15:06:13 GMT

I've been training forever but just recently I have been doing alot more speed work. I run most of the time around 5:30 or 6:00 am (in the dark) and my coach has me doing 1 minute or so repeats. The problem I'm running into is not being able to see my watch to know when 1:06 is up without having to push and hold the button on my watch. I have to hold the button down for about 3 seconds to get about 6 seconds of light. Any suggestions out there about better training models. I'm considereing one of the Garmin's because I am doing alot of long distance but I'm not familiar enough with them to just spend that much money if I can find something else with better lighting technology.
