Good Info!! I agree with Rob Krar. When it comes to training, we need to listen to our bodies and find a balance. On long runs for long (100K-100 mile) races: I think it’s important to realize that everyone is different and everyone has his or her own training philosophy and maximum weekly mileage or long runs. I think a big mistake that is made is when people make a jump from 50 miles to 100 miles they feel the need to do a lot more training. I personally believe that training for 50 miles and training for 100 miles is not that different. Certainly you want to bump the miles up a little bit, slightly increase the longer runs. But for me, my longest [training] run heading into Western was 30 miles [Krar raced the Lake Sonoma 50 Mile in April] and my longest training week was 100 miles. So I’m probably on the lower end of that scale. I think you’ve got to find the balance. I’m of the mindset that you can easily do too much but not too little. And there’s a boundary on that, but I think a lot of people are doing way too much training and really doing themselves a disservice for their health and their racing as well. - Rob Rob Krar Read more at runningpetitor/2014/08/training/rob-krars-ultimate-advice-for-ultrarunners_111406#258S2vtk553i4wvK.99
