The thought of running with no food in the tank is just frightening.<br /><br />I'm no expert in ultras but several of the plans out there have you doing the long runs back to back. This makes alot of sense in that it simulates the effect on the body of the time on your feet.<br /><br />Very good sign that your coach/wife is asking when you're going to run again. Better get on with it!Love2Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862751632099235794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-30534438824076243972006-11-09T18:44:00.000+00:002006-11-09T18:44:00.000+00:00We're all full of advice, aren't we?

And you can make it, with an experience (and talant) you've got. I am looking forward your training and race report!Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-13421152725859728272006-11-09T16:21:00.000+00:002006-11-09T16:21:00.000+00:00i am also curious about the no breakfast before ru...i am also curious about the no breakfast before runs....I don't see what kind of benefit that would give youLeahChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029022855972667159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-21883312947322439222006-11-09T16:00:00.000+00:002006-11-09T16:00:00.000+00:00Thomas,

If I want higher mileage than I can cram in with two rest days, then I'll do some two-a-days. I am not trying to give unsolicited advice, I just like to broaden my knowledge base by knowing the "whys" behind training techniques.<br /><br />The other question was about breakfast - I think I remember you or someone posting about "learning to run on empty" - is that what you are trying to do?<br /><br />I think it's a great new challenge for you and look forward to following your training. Good luck!Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-1976109654191567802006-11-09T14:37:00.000+00:002006-11-09T14:37:00.000+00:00Thanks for listing me as a hardcore ultra runner, ...Thanks for listing me as a hardcore ultra runner, but I may just be a washed up ultra runner at this time. Hopefully I will make a comeback after school is done. <br /><br />Good luck with this next training cycle and if I have any worthy advice along the way I will try to provide it.robtherunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066981363064781863noreply@blogger.com
