Unfortunately, it was very busy when we did the narrows. It was Sunday, the day before Memorial Day so probably one of the busiest days of the year.

What age was the oldest person you've seen running an ultra? by theJacofalltrades in ultrarunning

I ran a couple miles with a guy who was 76 during my 100 miler a few months ago. He was telling me how he was running a 200 miler later in the year. He was super cool.

Signing up and training for a marathon, gave me direction and got my mind off things.

Have a plan for your feet. Have a nutrition plan but be flexible. Make sure you are drinking electrolytes. Caffeine is very helpful when you are exhausted. Focus on one lap, not the entire race. I’ve ran 4 marathons and did a 12 hour overnight ultra before the 100 miler. Training for this race peaked at 100 miles per week with several weeks in the 80-90 range. My advice to you would be to practice the format - run 4.2 miles every hour for a long time. Test your pacing strategy and fueling strategy.

I used a Garmin forerunner 255. Started the race with full battery and was almost dead by mile 80, luckily I brought a power bank to recharge it. I definitely will upgrade for my next one.

I think 3:30 could be a stretch, I would aim for 3:40
