Anyone running the Pinhoti 100?

I recently moved down to Alabama to attend graduate school and am putting some serious thought/miles into running the Pinhoti 100 this November. The event website is pretty bare bones, so I am hoping someone out there is running the trail and could give some advice on some extended trails to train on in the Birmingham area. I am also looking for someone to do some of my longer training runs with, including an overnight run or two as the race approaches.

If your curious the website for the event is www.pinhoti100.com

Finished C25K on trails... now what?

gothgimpbadcooking — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 15:23:44 GMT

I'm a new jogger and just this week finished C25K run exclusively on trails. I'd really like to start a new program to keep me motivated but am having trouble finding one that will fit where I most enjoy running, which is on trails by my house that are quite hilly: http://www.duluthmn.gov/parks/chestercreektrail.cfm

A lot of C25K grads are going on to the one hour run, but that sounds like a bit much for me on that trail! Also one of the reasons I like running on these steep trails as compared to on the flatter roads is that I feel like I'm getting a decent bang for my buck as far as time commitment to workout ratio goes. I have a short attention span, I think. I'd rather focus on building my speed than my ability to run for a really long time, as I'm not even remotely interested in training for a race.

Does anyone have suggestions for a new program for me?

I'm also having trouble calculating my pace as it's really difficult to measure how far I've gone because I do a lot of doubling back on trails to extend the run. Would a pedometer be accurate in this situation?

Thanks guys!

A one minute trial will take you to the top of the list of health, fitness and sports experts

Run four steps forward and notice that you drop your feet behind to speed up and reach a level pace. Running cannot be done another way so it is the first irrefutable and observable science in health, fitness and sports. You can now let gravity do all the work of moving you forward to walk, jog, run and sprint. A sprinter goes through all four speed labels to reach top speed. The four speed labels are the same self transport movement at a variety of speeds. Walking can be seen as running slowly and sprinting can be seen as running very fast.
