I just signed up for my big '08 goal.. my first ultra! Buckeye Trail 50K
I put all my long runs on trails, and that seemed to work pretty well for me, so that's the strategy I'm following for this one.
Good luck on your first ultra! The Buckeye is one I would like to do. You'll have to let us know what it's like.

Hi I am new here as well. I ran my first 50 at Rocky Last year. This year my goals are Collegiate Peaks 50, Bighorn 50, and pace 50 miles of Leadville to prepare for running it the following year.
