Wait til you see the pics.... Just fabulous! J and I are back on our training schedule for the Sageburner 50k, and we use the Santa Clarita schedule.... We really like it and it sure paid off for us at the Greenland 50k last year.... It builds your long runs up to 24 miles before you taper, and you do consecutive weekends of 20, 22, 24..... You just put in the date of your ultra and it will do the rest for you.... This weekend was only 12/8 ..... Which was nice after the mt. Marathon last<br /> week...... This weekend is 14/8.... you should check it out if you haven't seen this schedule yet...:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-78171962930290384412011-03-20T23:03:39.270-06:002011-03-20T23:03:39.270-06:00That Kathleen is always thinking .. perfect celebr...That Kathleen is always thinking .. perfect celebration for an excellent run. I thought you may be thinking 50K in the back of your mind, and it's not a big deal to skip the marathon (there are some trail marathons though, too :)), you'll be a natural at the longer distance!<br /><br />Enjoy the nice weather - at least through Monday!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-41318183763954599652011-03-20T21:15:53.662-06:002011-03-20T21:15:53.662-06:00Congrats! 20 is a HUGE number, and nevermind the f...Congrats! 20 is a HUGE number, and nevermind the fact you're doing it on trails! I can hardly run 20 on the flattest of flat roads - and right now I run 3 on trails and FEEL like I did 20 on the road -so this is VERY impressive! I applaud you. :)<br /><br />Too funny about tourists needing to walk 20 feet from their cars. Ugh. Some gorgeous views they are missing out on!<br /><br />I signed up for my first official trail race! :) It's a half marathon in December, so hopefully I'll have plenty of time of getting my legs used to the terrain and the climbing. I totally thought of you two as I signed up. You've been great an encouraging my running on the hills out here, but I still have that terrain barrier. The race I'm doing also had a marathon, 50k, and 50-miler, but I opted for the 'cute' distance as my starting point. Super excited & am sure I'll be asking for tips as I start training for it later this year!<br /><br />Hope you had a good weekend. :)<br />AAlyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160111808957762314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-52286851237357702472011-03-20T18:54:18.926-06:002011-03-20T18:54:18.926-06:00mtnrunner2- Tim is a bona fide good guy and outsta...mtnrunner2- Tim is a bona fide good guy and outstanding runner.
