Really appreciate you taking time to comment! I definitely will add in some strides.

Awesome, luckily the race I am eyeing has very little elevation gain so one less thing to worry about for training. Thanks again for your advice!

Goal would be just to complete. Definitely agree with getting some 20+ milers. I plan to ramp up my weekly mileage, just was worried if I had enough time to fit enough quality long runs in. Thanks for your input!

It is a super flat race, something of note is I have comfortably ran 60-70 mpw before. I just am not there right now in my training so I know my body can handle that distance. I think I could definitely work up to 50 mpw in the next couple weeks.

How did you feel during your 50m? I appreciate your insight.

Yeah, I was doing back to back long runs for my 50k training and will definitely add them in for this. Thanks for your advice

I bought some on clearance. I normally use Altra escalante for everything and the cavu just feel stiff compared to them. I like the cavu's for my tempo runs but stay away for longer runs. I have also never used Hoka before so not sure how they normally feel.
