The key for me is going to be using the B2Bs sparingly. I think have 3 of them on my plan. But the rest of the time I will either be off or doing a 4 - 5 mile recovery on my TM the day after a long run. For Leadville I think I did 8 weekends that were at least 40 miles of total training and I did two 50 milers. Hindsight is 20/20, but it was too much.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256410616083520026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164125942929514800.post-2831569268708918322012-10-29T07:29:33.773-07:002012-10-29T07:29:33.773-07:00I couldn't agree more with your training conce...I couldn't agree more with your training concept. My ultra performances were best back when I was also training hard for marathons. That is one of the reasons why I'm focused on a marathon right now. I think quality marathon training lays a strong foundation for a quality ultra, provided you do the super long runs. The key is avoiding sacrificing quality for quantity, but at the same time getting in that long run so you're strong for the event. For me, the best way to allow for this is to take a day off from running after my super long run--to allow recovery in time for the next quality session (though back to backs have great value at times). I used to not have to do that, when I was younger, but now I have to build in rest or else I won't be ready for my quality session on Tuesday.<br /><br />WyattWyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.com
