I am assuming you are going to HELL to do DWD50?

We have a DWD in WI

I used to live down in St Joe MI for 3 years - Didn't run back then - just drank, ate and worked a lot.

 Dopple Bock,

  Actually we are going to Gnaw Bone in May. I won't be in this Beautiful Country when the Hell race is run. I may be a few thousand miles away. I have talked my running buddy (Corland) into it as well. Neither of us have ran farther than a Marathon before so it should be interesting. Also, whats wrong with Drinking, Eating and Working as long as you add a little running in as well. Hell, I am drinking right now. Cheers

Fatozzig,

  I can relate about the training. I have been doing a little research on it aleady. We don't plan on ramping up our training until Dec-Jan. Cory is looking at 80-100 weeks where as I am thinking 60-70. Good luck on your Ultra.

Hello eveyone.

As mentioned above, I'm new here too.  I don't know any ultra runners IRL, so I hope to find some online help.  I've run 6 marathons in the past 3 years.  They were all goal races.  My 4th marathon was my best, despite training significantly harder for the last two.

I need something different.  I hope that adding more long, slow distance in the spring will improve my mararthon time next fall.  I really don't have an ultra goal, other then finishing. 

I've already learned some things from all of you.  thanks     

Newbie here...

I consider myself to be reasonably computer literate, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to post a topic on the ultra runners forum. Please help.
