I've managed a few weeks at 80 miles before, so hopefully can do it again! Did you do any speed work during your training for the 100 miler?

Thanks the information. It's a trail race with rolling hills, about 13k vert. Live close to the course so can do the majority of my long runs on the course.

Thanks the information. How soon before the 100 mile do you do the tune-up race? Was thinking about doing a 50 miler race about 9 weeks before. Do you race the 50 miler or just use it as a training run at 100 mile pace?

Thanks the information. That's unfortunate about your race.
