I thought I would introduce myself to the group. I have been running for about a year now, and I am really hooked to running. I love going out and forgetting all problems etc! This is why I think I want to do an ultra, I have been upping my mileage and am up to 20 miles for my long run. I am going out today for 3 hours or more, so see how it goes. I run long and slow. If I have done 20 miles, feeling ok at the end, but perhaps feet a little sore, how hard should it be to get to 50? And what sort of time frame? My uncle, Terrence Edmondson of England was a famous ultra runner in his time in the 80s and did some mad multi day events, so hopefully it will be in the genes!
