I ran my first 50k this year and the most helpful things were back to backs on the weekends, a general increase in mileage across the week (as to not have too heavy loaded weekends), and training on the terrain. Start testing out fueling options early. I swear ultras are all about metabolic management.

The best piece of advice I got before my first one was to do a few 6-hour training runs, where I practiced everything I would do on race day - especially nutrition. Everybody's digestive system is different, so you need to experiment to see what works for you.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537579568732930585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702988741762017233.post-44752451948786498192014-11-14T06:55:19.165-06:002014-11-14T06:55:19.165-06:00I hope your ankle/foot is better soon.
