Wow... yes I am running the inland trail 1/2.... and yes it is hinckley Lake that I will be running my 50k at... I run at the lake at least once a week... and now that it is getting dark earlier I will be there more often as it is the closest place for me to run off the roads... I do 90% of my training on asphalt...
So is the all purpose loop exactly 5K?
I'm trying to get sense of the training you've put in for a trail run, which is quite different from a road race. ... Another issue, are you using trail running shoes or road shoes? Trail running shoes have much more stability than road.
1. the name trail.. is deceiving... both races I am running upcoming are on all purpose paths.... which are asphalt. 2. I am running in road shoes but when I hit the trails I run in trail shoes...

ok... My first ultra is scheduled for Thanksgiving. It is a 50k... I am currently training for a 1/2 on Nov 2nd... but I am in pretty good marathon shape... actually I am in better shape now than I was for my marathon (clev 2008)... It (the 50k) will be on a hilly 5k loop around a lake on an all purpose trail. The loop has three 150-200 ft hills... one is steeper ,. one of medium grade ... one is long and shallow... downhills are the same....
