[QUOTE="Jones, post: 547563, member: 4805"] Training for an ultra isn't much different than standard marathon training, it's all about the mileage. If you're ready for a marathon you're ready for a 50k. For a 50 miler you want some longer training runs under your belt, 25-30 milers as opposed to 18-20 for a marathon. Most ultras are on trail, often in the mountains, so you need to get some training on that kind of terrain to get used to the hills. As you can see, just training on the roads won't get you ready this one. I'm currently running 6 days a week, tue/thurs are progression runs, Mon/Wed/Fri are easy/recovery runs, Sunday is long run. Saturday I chill out. I don't have any shorter races picked out right now, I may do a half marathon in the fall depending on how I feel. [/QUOTE]
