Reached a milestone in training for my first ultra (Read 90 times)

Are we there, yet?

    Finished the Bob Potts Marathon today in about 5 1/2 hours. Official results aren't posted yet. This represents the longest time ever I've been on my feet running. Two months ago when I first started training for NC24 my long run was about 9 miles. My weekly mileage is still hovering in the 35-40 miles range as we've concentrated on extending my long run. Just under 4 months remaining until the Fall NC24. I think it's time to re-label me from middle distance runner to something else except I'm fresh out of ideas.

        Nice job!  I'm targeting about the same time for my first marathon at the end of June.

            Run Muppy - thanks, and I couldn't agree more about the conditions.

             

            mj - good luck in yours. Hope you get as good weather as I had.

             

            Jamezilla - thanks, this was a real boost in confidence. Ian has me running workouts I wouldn't have believed I could do this soon. If you're ever looking for a coach, I would recommend him.
