Training continued...

The last couple weeks training has been going well. I've been floating around 70 mpw with a hilly long run and two quality speed work sessions. I've even made it to the track for repeats, not a normal part of my Ultra training but my next race is a 50k. I feel pretty confident going in to Yankee Springs but it is a winter race in Michigan. There is no snow yet but that could quickly change. I'm getting a pair of Montrail Bajada from our Rep from work to try out. If they work well I'll be using them at Nueces 50mi in March as well. I feel I confident that I can roll through the 50k and up my mileage into the 80-90 mpw range and keep the quality up. The most important thing is to stay injury free and feel strong. I could put in 100+ mpw but feel the quality would suffer, maybe when I do my first 100 mile race. I'll put a race report on here and hopefully start adding some pictures as well.
